[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in a MCPS self-contained classroom (1st grade now) with mixed disabilities.  The curriculum is the same but is adapted to the class's and my kid's needs per IEP.  I am happy with the placement given our other choice (a regular classroom with 28-30 kids and push in/pull out services).  That would have been a disaster.  With the SC classes the number of kids goes way down--I think we're capped at 12 and there's a para, which there would not be in gen education.  In K there were 6 kids with the teacher + para so it was a great ratio.  All the classes are together at lunch and recess and my kid now knows a number of kids from the NT classes.  His specials are also SC.  Kids with more abilities can rotate into the gen ed classes for different subjects.  Where I'm not happy is that there are kids who are more behaviorally impacted than my kid so he's losing instructional time as the teacher has to frequently redirect those kids and in K you will definitely see this but there's nothing you can do.
