Thanks..I just dont want to see my son struggle but what I dont WANT is him being placed in a mainstreamed environment full of 25 plus kids and have to keep his head above water just to keep up simply because the regular ed teachers do not have the training to meet his needs. The school professionals said that due to LRE, they cant place him in a full time self-contained classroom for his language disorders. However, if by first grade, if he is still struggling, I will raise hell.
This is why i dont believe that mainstreaming should be looked as the ultimate goal for all children. What is "normal" anyway?
