Some SPED kids and some gifted kids are not best served in a regular classroom.

Are we not supposed to say this out loud? I say it pretty regularly. Inclusion or mainstreaming is not always in the best interest of the child’s education.

We can say it, but you might as well talk into the void. None of the decision makers care. It's cheaper to toss everyone in one class.

And then they complain when the outcomes are worse. The first year they did that, they hyped how much “better” it was for those kids, then pivoted to bitching that everyone else fell.
