I have tought. I had to teach chemical equations to a room full of 16-17 year olds, when one of them had a 1.8 reading grade level. It frustrated him, and prevented me from helping the others be all they can be.
Mainstreaming is a socialist idea, and it fails everyone. I knew GREAT special ed teachers who were severely limited by what they could do with the kids because of the mainstreaming requirement. Special ed kids need special ed teachers. Otherwise, you force every teacher to be a special ed teacher, and you have enough teachers who barely know their own subject.
