enough.

Well, there may be a limit, but you generalize far too much and try to
use
it as an argument not to mainstream disabled students. As I said
before,
each student is different, and will need different assistance.

I've made NO argument not to mainstream. I've made arguments that there
are times when it is *not* appropriate.

And yet you apply your arguments to the broader issues by omission and
implication. I don't deny that in extraordinary cases, a particular child
may not be able to successfully integrate into school society, but every
child deserves the *chance* to try.

I'm not going to argue a specific case with you because it's pointless to do
so. This is a discussion of general policies and ideas.
