My mother teaches jr. high at a private school and they couldn't escape "inclusion". She gets one or two kids every couple of years. Some times they are very functional others just sit in the class, and do alternate work. Creating twice as much work for my mother, all so the kids get a letter of attendance in school. Schools should be based more on academic ability and less on chronological age.

If this 6 year old had "mental" issue, she should of had someone in the class with her.

Do you know if the “inclusion” was caused by lawsuits or by the “No Child Left Behind” program.

It wouldn’t surprise me to learn “inclusiveness” was caused by lawsuits and blamed on the “No Child Left Behind” program that the teacher unions don’t like because of the accountability. But I want to know for sure.
