Hi Stephanie, yes the buddy system works well and it's quite common these days at primary schools in Victoria. There is much to lose if we do exclude people for arbitrary differences.

What a wonderful idea. I especially like that it continues over two years. Sometimes I'm so frustrated and disappointed in the school system here in the states. I'd be more interested in being a teach if it was better. sigh. It's refreshing to hear a story where children are accepting to one another instead of isolating the one who is "different".

Thanks earthpal, and I agree with you there, on inclusive policies. There are more important things than 'efficiency' and 'productivity' in education. Ah yes, aprilfoolnyc, couldn’t agree more.

There is the sweetest little girl with Down's syndrome at the school where my two youngest go and they too dont seem to have noticed that she's "different" in any way. I would always support the right of special-needs children to attend mainstream school. You have remarkable children Bindi. That is a heartwarming and humbling story Bindi.
