Including Samuel Reaction: Lindsay

This week, our Mayfield watched the movie "Including Samuel".  I originally watched this movie in my Special Education class last year, but I got to watch the movie this time with some of the members of the Mayfield.  I was glad we got to watch the movie together because we had a really nice discussion after the movie.  I really enjoyed this movie, and I think it does a good job of presenting the issues of inclusion in public schools and showing that people who have disabilities are still people.  The disabilities they have are conditions, but they are first and foremost people.  The group I watched the movie with had a really good discussion about special education programs in schools and funding problems, and it was very interesting to get to discuss these things with my housemates who come from different places and have different experiences related to these subjects.  Overall, we had a great discussion about these issues and I think we all enjoyed the movie.
