I really like how our district "handles" special ed--almost all special ed students are mainstreamed.
Like I mentioned earlier, my daughter falls under "special ed", but she spends the majority of her time in a normal class. For a few hours a day she then goes to the "learning lab".
In the long run, it is better for all.
In the mornings, when my daughter gets to school, a couple of her classmates voluntarily help her out. From what I am told, that kind of attention goes on throughout the day.
I think this helps the "short bus" attitude many of us had when we were young.
