[quote=Anonymous][i]Mainstreaming is the integration of students of similar ages who had been separated up until the early 1990s into regular classrooms and special education classrooms. According to Sherri McCarthy, a professor of educational psychology at Northern Arizona State University, the idea behind it was to have teachers trained in both regular and special education, and to have two educators per classroom so that everyone would be able to stay on task.

“In reality, what has happened is that mainstreaming has been interpreted as putting all the kids in the same classrooms, but we don’t have the resources to put another teacher in there,” McCarthy said. “Now we just have a mix of kids with different needs.”[/i]

And here is a return piece from a SN mom who thinks all kids should be mainstreamed, even hers who is not potty-trained.  That schools are capable of changing diapers!!  :shock:
