[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The special educator at our school told me this change was happening. DS was already at the Home school but it meant her workload was increasing significantly. DS hasn’t had much support this year as far as I can tell but oddly enough it’s been a better year than last because the general ed classroom teachers are much better.

This is my second time around with an IEP in MCPS. Services were already lacking. IEPs have never been followed as written for either of my kids. If my child currently needed 1-1 support, I’d be livid. And if I were a teacher I’d also be livid.

This is typical MCPS BS. I’m so sick of hearing about the need to address gifted education and listening to my friends and nieghbors whine about how their kids are being shortchanged. Shortchanged is not providing FAPE and it happens every single day to thousands of students in MCPS. [/quote]

[b]I have a child who is both gifted AND learning disabled. He's part of the least-served group of students, I can tell you that![/b][u]
Please don't criticize other parents who complain about their children's needs not being served. It doesn't diminish your child's right to receive services. There's just not enough money to go around and it's hard to distribute the money and effort.[/quote]

Please don't do this.  Unless you have direct experience as a parent or special educator with kids with significant disabilities, don't assume that they have it better than you or disregard their concerns to push your agenda.   Don't pull the "Oh my kid is worse off" crap.
