[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The size of Woodacres surged a few years ago when they became known as incorporating special needs well. The same thing happened to Bethesda Elementary School, before it. Results were overcrowding and high proportion of SN kids in regular classrooms, not always with the correct proportion of additional support from teachers. Kids fell through gaps. Bannockburn doesn't have this going on yet.[/quote] You don't know what you are talking about. Wood Acres has a LAD program. It was overcrowded no matter how you looked at it. SN students didn't do it and sticking 30 kids in a classroom means some will fall through the cracks, SN or not. Bannockburn will never have this program (which is actually being phased out by MCPS) because it is not set up with the right staffing (e.g. no OT and no place to put one and related equipment). OP, your choice is big vs small. Bannockburn gives tours. You could call and ask the same of Woodacres.[/quote]
