A good article to read.  The part that caught my attention, was the ADD student with Anger issues.  With mainstreaming being required by courts, its hard.  Mainstreaming is where a special needs student is put in a regular class.  Yes, this is often more fair to the special ed student, but then its often not fair to the other students in the class.  And sometimes not even fair to the special ed student since they don't get as much attention as they need. The problem with the courts running education with many tiny narrow decisions, is it may make sense legally, but its often not what is best for students.
