[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mainstreaming is MUCH cheaper than having separate special ed schools or residential schools for kids who need serious psychiatric help. [/quote]

Oh it’s not even that.

I have this crazy mom who has an autistic kid who is constantly posting on Facebook about how kids with disabilities need to be mainstreamed. She posted a NYT article about how kids are secretly being taken out of schools.  And it is so evil!!!!!

Fun fact; I read the article and the comments. And the comments were all like: year, so your kid is one out of 30. Are we supposed to throw all thirty under the bus because your kid has a bad day?

And frankly: with this Virginia case, I’m going to say no.

At some point, public schools have to put their foot down on “disabilities.”  I get that parents have a right to an education for their kid but the way that this is going their kids are all going to be homeschooled if there isn’t some kind of balance. Parents have too much power now. And because 1 out of 30 kids has to be “mainstreamed” we are going to bring down 29 kids so that one kid can have a fit?

What mainstreaming has done has made the stigma against these kids even worse.

Oh- plus her kid isn’t medicated.  At all. And needs to be. [/quote]
