Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The least restrictive environment (LRE) principle mandates that students with disabilities should be educated with their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent appropriate. Since Isaac has a learning disability in math but is advanced in reading, placing him in a general education classroom allows him to learn alongside his peers for subjects he excels in while receiving the necessary support for his math disability.
