¶ … Structure of Irish Education for Special Education Needs Students
Today, there are more than 140 special schools for students with different types of disabilities in Ireland, including those with general learning disabilities, deficits in sight and/or hearing, and even special schools for students with emotional disabilities (Special needs education 2). In addition, many special education needs students also attend mainstream schools, depending on their individual circumstances (Special needs education 3). Despite the availability of these resources, some observers maintain that even more should be done for special education needs students to help them achieve their full potential. To determine the facts, this paper reviews the relevant literature to provide a rationale in support of the selection of this topic as a chief educational priority and a critical appraisal of the efforts to date in this area. Finally, an analysis of the extent to which this priority has been satisfactorily addressed at a broad and national level is followed by a summary of the research and important findings concerning these issues in the conclusion.

Most of the classes into which special education needs students are…

Aristotle began as the student of Plato, but a reader is hard pressed to find any particular similarities between the worldviews of the two. In fact, if we have studied Platonic Dualism and Plato's accompanying Theory of Forms, it starts to look like Aristotle's philosophy is based upon the attempt to be as un-Platonic as possible. Plato believed in a double nature of reality -- the real physical world that
