Answer to Question 1

Mainstreaming involves including students with disabilities in regular school classes. By treating these students just like other students, schools are communicating that their disabilities are not master statuses, and that they are just like other children with respect to potential and ability. This is functional for society because it encourages each member of student to work towards their maximum potential and thus contribute more to society in terms of contributions. It also lessens the need for society to take care of those who are disabled.
