✦ Synopsis
This study was designed to obtain the perceptions of regular class teachers who taught children who had been in EMR programs, but had been decertified (D) and returned to regular classes in response to court cases and recent legislation. A cohort of regular class (RC) students were selected for comperative purposes. It was found that D students were placed into low ability classes; yet, teachers erceived D subjects to be significantly lower than RC students in b o t l academic achievement and social acceptance. Only a small proportion cf teachers indicated that the enrollment of D students had much impact on the regular class instructional rogram. However, the teachers were rather critical of the services received u n g r the auspices of a transitional program, indicating in large part that the services were either not apparent or ineffective.
