What is a partially self contained classroom setting? I'm confused.

Perhaps it means part of the day will be spent in a self-contained classroom, then the other part in the mainstream. This is what my DS has in place. He is in an LD class of about 9 kids/ 4 adults in the morning for math, LA and reading, then joins the mainstream 2nd grade for lunch, afternoon (science/ss) and specials. It is working very well for him.

That sounds similar to my DS's placement - his class has 9 boys, 1 teacher and 2 full-time aides. The kids are main-streamed for PE, art, music, and science. Tonight DS has a music program with all the 3rd graders and he will be with his regular-ed classroom for that.

In our school district it means that the classroom is "split 50/50" between special needs kids and general ed kids. These classrooms have two full-time teachers, one general ed and one special ed. The concept is that the kids with special needs are academically capable of handling general ed work, but needs additional assistance due to behavior, etc. Our oldest was in one of these rooms when he was in 1st grade. Great concept, but in our situation, bad placement for him...the special ed teacher wasn't even remotely versed in HFA/Aspie behavior so they disciplined him like a child with an ADHD Dx. Bad situation all the way around.
