My name is Lamont Bruce, i grew up in temple hills Maryland. I am 22 years old, and play football, write poems, and love doing fun things. I currently go to Bowie State University, in which i am in my Senoir year.

**__ Philosophy __**

I believe that there are many things in this world that helps children even children in special education which is inclusion, the way they handle children with communication or other disorders and so on. I also disagree with a lot of things that deal with special education such as the way some people treat children with mental retardation. I think that mental retardation is the least helped disability that is being taken care of from what I see. I decided to become an elementary school teacher because I love helping children. I think that children need more help in this world and I am going to be there to help them and know that I will have to teach children with disabilities in my future classroom and think they deserve to get the best help as well. My philosophy of special education is that IDEA is basically what helped students/children with disabilities get the help that they are getting today.

IDEA is a law that provides rules on how to treat children with disabilities. There are two parts to this law, which is a Part B and a Part C. Part B is for children/students who ages range from 3 to 21 and Part C is age’s birth to 3. After 21 I guess they consider the child with the disability a grown up so they get help from either there family or professionals. They have made six principles which are rules for schools, parents, and students to follow. The first principle is zero reject which is a rule against excluding any child or student with a disability. I think and believe that this is the most important rule because if it wasn’t for that rule most children with disabilities would be treated like dirt.
