I am a seventh grade language arts teacher, and special education
students have been "included" in my classroom for three years. They
do not act any differently than my regular ed students. The best
part of inclusion is that my lower level students are able to receive
small group/individual instruction from the second teacher...on a regular
basis...something that would not be possible with only one teacher. A
disadvantage of the program is that administrators who do not understand
the dynamics of inclusion tend to overload classes. They will also
place too many "included" students in one class...I have 12 in one hour!
That's ridiculous and a complete waste of time.
