creates
and
molds
the
identity
of
the
person
they
become
in
their
future.
Lucy
has
the
right
to
an
education
in
a
mainstream
school
just
like
any
other
child
would.
As
Lucy
is
currently
ten
years
old,
she
would
not
require
a
translator.
To
support
Lucy's
learning,
all
the
teacher
would
have
to
do
is
make
sure
she
has
a
seat
up
the
front
or
where
she
can
best
hear
as
she
will
have
a
better
chance
of
hearing
and
seeing
the
information
being
presented.
Use
lots
of
visuals
and
also
clarify
with
Lucy
at
the
end
of
an
explanation
that
she
understands
what
they
are
doing.
The
Disability
Standards
clarify
the
obligations
of
education
and
training
providers
to
ensure
that
students
with
disabilities
are
able
to
access
and
participate
in
education
without
experiencing
discrimination
(DDA,
2008).
This
highlights
the
importance
of
Lucy
receiving
a
mainstream
education
just
like
any
other
child.
The
Disability
Discrimination
Act
protects
people
with
a
disability
and
makes
sure
that
they
have
the
same
educational
opportunities
and
rights
as
a
student
without
a
disability
(DDA,
2008).
Lucy
has
to
work
harder
than
any
other
student
to
concentrate
in
class,
and
she
is
capable
of
doing
so.
By
denying
Lucy
a
placement
at
this
school,
you
would
be
going
against
the
Disability
Discrimination
Act
and
UNICEFs
Convention
on
the
Rights
of
the
Child
(2005)
as
they
have
the
right
to
a
good
quality
education
that
should
help
children
to
use
and
develop
their
talents
and
abilities.
UNICEFs
mission
is
to
advocate
for
the
protection
of
childrens
rights,
to
help
meet
their
basic
needs
and
to
expand
their
opportunities
to
reach
their
full
potential.
UNICEF
is
guided
in
doing
this
by
the
provisions
and
principles
of
the
Convention
on
the
Rights
of
the
Child
(UNICEF,
2005).
In
your
schools
motto
Friends,
Family,
Community,
and
Together
We
Grow
(St.Marys,
2012),
you
are
implying
that
your
school
is
a
community
where
each
child
has
a
place
to
feel
safe
and
to
reach
beyond
their
potential.
If
this
is
true,
you
would
accept
Lucy
and
give
her
the
chance
to
be
in
a
school
community
where
she
could
shine
and
perform
to
the
best
of
her
ability.
The
National
Framework
for
Values
Education
(2005)
noted
that
values
based
education
can
strengthen
students
self-esteem,
optimism
and
commitment
to
personal
fulfillment;
and
help
students
exercise
ethical
judgment
and
social
