Jay Matthews wrote the article “Mainstreaming Special-Ed Students: a Question of Time” This article explains the varying differences of the mainstreaming process in elementary schools and secondary schools. In elementary schools it is easier to incorporate the special education student into the class but harder when it comes to high school and the classes are more specialized. Also student with special needs are hindered by not having the one-to-one help with a teacher when they are in a regular education room.
Doing analysis on the school districts to see what works best for the students and also the teachers should be done if mainstreaming is being considered. This article’s purpose is to point out the differences between elementary and secondary education mainstreaming. I like this article because it really shows the importance and time involved in making mainstreaming work for everyone.
