Theme 1. The participants felt that having fewer children in classrooms benefits children as it enables flexibility to organizing support, one-on-one interaction with the teacher, structure and calmness; furthermore, classes with both children with and without SE needs give pupils the chance to learn and support each other. There are improvements to be made as the medicalized language could be seen in some of the participants discourse, and there is a lack of support for teachers.

Theme 2. The general view of the participants was that the catchment area school rule is important as it improves collaboration between schools and kindergartens. In addition, the area, the school and other children are familiar. For some participants, however, support was more important than the catchment area.
