Very wrong. Let me present you just a bit of information.Thirty years of study shows us that when ALL students are learning together they ALL do better. This means even students with the most needs do better in their grade-level, when they are given the right support. What is inclusive education? Inclusive education means everyone is included in their grade-level in their neighborhood school. Inclusion means students are given the help they need to be full members of their class. Inclusive education involves districts supporting schools as they include ALL the students who live in their communities. How do teachers meet the needs of all students in an inclusive school?
Teachers plan their lessons to meet each students learning needs.
Teachers teach in small groups that can change as the students needs change.
Teachers teach the same content in different ways.
Teachers work with other adults in the school to help meet each students needs.Why inclusive education?
Studies show that students with and without disabilities in inclusive schools:
do better in reading and math
benefit from the friendships they form
learn to value differences.

Boy that hasn’t been my experience. Disrupted classrooms, poor educational outcomes. lower scores, less all round learning has been my experience.
I would suspect the studies prove what the teacher’s union want them to prove.
My classes of 32 kids were quiet, respected our teacher, feared getting in trouble with authorities and parents. It was unheard of to interrupt a teacher's lesson. The vice-principal dealt with parents if necessary. We ALL moved through the years passing our tests, learning, and playing our hearts out during recess and after school. Hardly any homework in grades 1-6, too.
