[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has special needs and I volunteered extensively at his Bethesda elementary. I saw a couple of children with very disruptive needs that impacted instructional time. These kids needed non-mainstream placement, but either the parents refused it, or there was no room in the right MCPS special program, or, MCPS did not wish to pay for SN private school outplacement, for the most severe cases. It’s sad. However, all my kids have good memories of this school, and the Principal and IEP teams did their level best with the resources they had. [/quote] I went to public school in the 80's and 90's and even in the early 80's figured out that my elementary had a class for the dumb kids, two average classes and a class for the smart kids, and remember in first grade telling my mom they should divide the dumb class into two - one for kids who were just slow and one for kids who were badly behaved. Unfortunately they went in the opposite direction. [/quote]
