An inclusion classroom setting benefits... who?

Everybody talks about whether or not an inclusion classroom is the best environment for students with special needs, or disabilities. This is a very important topic. I think that students with disabilities should be placed in regular education classrooms and mainstreamed whenever possible. I think that each student should be looked at individually, and placed in his or her least restrictive environment. I do not  think that each student should be placed in an inclusion classroom, because not all students would benefit from this environment.

I am going to switch to script a bit. Most people (I think) am more concerned about students with disabilities in their transitioning. I am concerned with the welfare of students with disabilities, as well as students in the regular education classroom.  Are the students with disabilities who are mainstreamed into a regular classroom interfering with learning for the non-disabled students? In the majority of cases, I not only think that students with disabilities benefit when mainstreamed... I also wholeheartedly believe that non-disabled students benefit just as much with having students with disabilities in the classroom with them! 

Students with disabilities can use the extra support from teachers and fellow classmates, as well as learn to have high expectations of themselves, as well as become accustomed to proper social etiquette.

Students without disabilities learn patience, gain a friend and become more accepting of people who might be a little bit different.

Even teachers can learn a lot from students with disabilities. They will learn new teaching techniques that can be used for everyone, and achieve a better understanding of various students abilities and disabilities throughout the years.

It's a win/win!
