Answer to Question 2

Inclusion provides for close collaboration between general education and special education teachers, and general education classroom teachers are resentful when special education support isn't provided. Some parents of students with exceptionalities worry that their children might get lost in the shuffle and often favor special classrooms. In the special education community, advocates of inclusion contend that placement in a general education classroom is the only way to eliminate the negative effects of segregation, but opponents counter that inclusion is not for everyone and that some students are better served in special classes, at least for parts of the day.
