The New York Times > Magazine > The Lessons of Classroom 506 - 0 views

  • ''Inclusion'' is the latest in a series of evolving strategies for special-needs education.
  • nstead of merely placing that child in a standard classroom for part or even most of the day and expecting him to keep up (a strategy often known as ''mainstreaming''), inclusion involves rearranging the class -- both the physical space and the curriculum -- to include him.
  • impaired and nonimpaired children can come to see one another as peers.

      Cutting Arts programs can actually cost schools MORE!
  • While school districts see the answer to their budget crisis as cuts to art programs, they do not foresee the problems that arise when students have no creative outlets in the classroom.
  • Disciplinary staff had to be added to deal with the new problems that had arisen. In most cases, the additional staff cost more than the art programs themselves
