[quote=Anonymous]I went to K-6th, then 9-12th with mainstreamed kids--some with some pretty severe neurological issues. I'm neurotypical and it was by far a net positive to me to share a classroom and then in high school occasional classes (PE, drama) with kids with SN. I'm not saying every school does it well, but I will say that there are benefits to exposing NT kids to kids who learn differently/have DN/etc. when it comes to empathy, understanding difference, seeing what kids with a range of physical/cognitive abilities can do. So far, my PK4 kid is having a good time at her high-SN neighborhood school, learning how to share a playground with kids whose bodies and brains work similarly & differently thank theirs. (I'm a year and half in, though. I do know things could change.) [/quote]
