[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What matters more in my opinion, is your persistence in making sure your child's needs are met. An unhelpful principal can make it harder, but if you are committed to advocating for your child, many principles will back down. We were in a top school in MCPS where the principal told us that he thought that DS "would never be a success without medication." I disagreed. DS, myself, and his team worked him to help him globally improve. I questioned every change that the team asked for, made a ton of suggestions, spoke with all DS's teachers, worked with DS at home, and asked for recommendations from his team on tools/techniques that we could implement at home. The principal's assessment was dead wrong and almost a year later, he admitted it in a room full of people. Also, DS's class usually had an aid, assistant, or Special Ed teacher in the room, most of the time. This will not be the case in all schools, but the ones in the more affluent areas and with more funding tend to have the extra help.[/quote] Which school? They have an aide in each room? Full time?[/quote]
