mainstreaming

Read a random definition: in autre droit

A quick definition of mainstreaming:

Mainstreaming means that children with disabilities should be educated with children who do not have disabilities as much as possible. This is required by the law called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Only when it is not possible to educate a child with disabilities in a regular classroom with extra help, can they be educated in a special class or separate school. IDEA provides different options for education, from the least restrictive regular classrooms to the most restrictive segregated facilities. Courts use different tests to decide if a child's education plan is appropriate.

A more thorough explanation:

Mainstreaming is a term used in education to describe the practice of including students with disabilities in regular classrooms to the greatest extent possible. This is required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which mandates that children with disabilities should be educated with children who are not disabled, as long as it is appropriate.

For example, if a child with a disability can learn effectively in a regular classroom with the help of special aids and services, then they should be included in that classroom. However, if the child's disability is too severe to be accommodated in a regular classroom, then they may need to be placed in a separate classroom or school.

There are different approaches to determining whether a child's educational plan is appropriate. For example, the Daniel R.R. test looks at whether education in a regular classroom with supplemental aids and services can be achieved satisfactorily for a given child, and if not, whether the school has mainstreamed the child to the maximum extent appropriate. The Roncker test looks at whether the services that make a segregated placement superior could be feasibly provided in a non-segregated setting.

Overall, the goal of mainstreaming is to provide children with disabilities with the same educational opportunities as their non-disabled peers, while also ensuring that their individual needs are met.

@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.

at the berk decision lmao
@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.
*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO
i hate this

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful
