Thank goodness for The Daily Mail. Today's world class expose is the news that an 'astonishing FIFTH of primary pupils are now classed as having 'special needs'.
This level of investigative journalism is what marks our press out in a world full of lazy, cynical...........oh, what's this?.......Mary Warnock, IN 1978 (!!!!!), said that 20% of the school population could have special educational needs!!
But a responsible, national newspaper would not print such a story without strong scientific research to support it would they? They back up their astonishing, ground breaking claims with a quote from..er.....'an experienced teacher of children with special needs'.
