[edit] Quotes
Should we have a source for the quotes? Are the references at the end where they came from? Joyous 23:31, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
The section Inclusive Classroom should be split. The first article refers to Inclusive Education, which is a philosophy of education which sees diversity as a resource, and speaks for the changing of institutions so that they better serve the differneces among children. The teaching/programming and benefits sections refer specifically to the mainstreamning of Special Needs and Disabled Chilrden. I suggest that this section be merged with mainstreaming, and that the Inclusive Classroom section be retitled Inclusive Education.

[edit] controversy
As the concept of an Inclusive Classroom is not universally accepted, there definitely should be some other opinions on the subject towards the bottom. The rather ridiculous string of benefits towards the end read exactly like a pamphlet favoring the idea. (They are poorly reasoned as well.) 0638 July 2 2006
