[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's very typical to group students with IEPs rather than spreading them across all classes. It's much easier to provide support that way.[/quote]

Yep, it's logistical.  I actually love it.  They move as a group with the SPED staff as needed for push in/pull out services.  He's in 3rd and I've never gotten the feeling or had him say that he was feeling left out.  When he was in a fully self contained class, they still did morning meeting with the homeroom and kids who could handle it joined the homeroom for specials, lunch, recess, and special events.

The complaints usually come from the GenEd parents who don't like the IEP kids in their child's class because they feel it's impacting their child's learning with behavior issues and dumbing down of curriculum.  Personally, I think any child can disrupt a class with behavior issues and I don't really know if dumbing down is happening.  I also imagine that the experience level of the teacher makes a difference.   [/quote]
