- Target:
- The Spokane School District
- Region:
- United States of America
-Research shows that mainstreaming is more academically effective than exclusion practices. Students are exposed to the general education curriculum and are held to higher standards.
-Evidence shows that children model the behavior of the children that they’re around. If they were to be included, they can learn socially appropriate behavior through firsthand observation and interaction with their peers.
-Mainstreaming is the most realistic educational option because in the real world, students won’t always receive special services. If they become accustomed to being treated similarly to those around them, they will become more successful.
-Students have the legal right to an education in the least restrictive environment (an environment with non-disabled peers).
-Teaches skills to general education students such as patience, tolerance, sympathy and problem solving and therefore allows them to thrive into better individuals.
We, the undersigned, call on the Spokane School District to allow students with EBD to be provided with the chance to be included in the general education setting with their typically developing peers.
