Bingo-but don't stick the responsibility for delaying a class soley on
included children. The most disruptive children, who hold up learning
far more than many with disabilities, usually have no labels at all.
Some may have LD, some may be gifted and bored, some may be under
extra stress at home-there are many excuses. But, if you're going
to keep students with disabilities out of the mainstream classroom
on the grounds that they require extra time and effort, than children
who present discipline problems should be excluded as well.
