Keep, badly formatted but there is some good content. - SimonP 02:40, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
Delete: Parts of the existing article are probably copyvios. If the article is cleaned up, I would change to keep. DCEdwards1966 03:34, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
Delete: It's a massive c&p from other sites. I don't have a problem with discussing mainstreaming in general or even the concept by this particular name, but it's entirely unencyclopedic now -- written very much in EdSpeak with EdCadence. It's an advocacy page. If it is radically cleaned up by the end of voting, I would change my vote, but the clean up would be severe. Geogre 03:57, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep, send to cleanup. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 06:06, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep--and cleanup. Article addresses a significant topic in education. Needs NPOVing, however. Jacob1207 21:26, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep and send to cleanup. Valid topic. Let's try to get it cleaned up before we rush into deletion. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 21:45, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
Delete this codswallop. Good example of why north American education majors shouldn't be allowed to teach innocent children. Wyss 21:53, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Please avoid personal attacks. We're voting on the article, not the author or the profession. Joyous 23:42, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

Where is the personal attack? I was attacking the author's article (~~codswallop~~), and the current state of public education in the states (brilliant in some places but largely dismal): The article is clear evidence the author has been let down by her teachers (whom I guess I'm attacking, but still not personally)... too bad she can't demand a refund on her tuition.

Keep, obviously encyclopedic topic, not even an awful article (at least now). -- Jmabel | Talk 00:36, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
Keep Ok, I've corrected around a dozen remaining grammar/syntax errors, tightened up the language and generally made the article more encyclopedic. I guess I was distracted by the abysmal writing (I hope the original author won't be teaching English anytime soon... sorry if that sounds like a personal attack but my remark is sincere).

Keep. Obviously ~~encyco~~ ~~enclyco~~ suitable. [[User:GeorgeStepanek|GeorgeStepanek\^talk ]] 01:56, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Keep it. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 15:45, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
