In my school years the kids with special needs had their own classroom, why is this no longer the approach?

I don't remember how special needs students were handled when I was in elementary but in Junior High we had two classes of special needs students. We had a range of inclusion for this students into the regular classrooms. In some subject areas some of the students were incorporated into the regular programs while other students remained in their special needs program. I believe it was all handled on a case by case basis.
