[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 498173, member: 1514"] I didnt watch it but I actually started out being against mainstream and I dont think the school system ever did anything to change my mind. I read a series of books when I was a teen by a special education teacher and I sure wish I could remember her name. She taught some of the difficult kids. Probably what today would be considered emotionally and behaviorally handicapped but she had them in a small self contained classroom in a building on the school grounds but not even attached to the regular school building. I dont think she had more than 6 kids in her class and she had one or two aides. She met each child where they were educationally. I remember one little girl in the book that was a wild child and she had to work to earn her trust to even get her to talk to her much less do school work. I believe this teacher retired when mainstreaming came in because she knew "her" kids were going to get so lost and she was right. Most of them ended up getting pushed right out of school. [/QUOTE]
