[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids in the classes usually attend specials, recess, and lunch with the general ed. I’m just surprised this was allowed. Hopefully, they at least requested permission from the parents in the various classes. Just seems like a major violation.[/quote]

23:20 here. It sounds like this elementary school includes a 'center' for kids who need specialized instruction for all general ed academics. It seems it's for a different population of kids with IEPs - unlike my kids who, upon entering K, had certain academic classes in self-contained CLASSROOMS but were not in a self-contained CLASS.

As I said in my PP, I had a kid in a self-contained preschool CLASS. It was mixed ages ranging from 2.5 (age my DS started) to 6 dependent using the development level of the DC. I became acquainted with a number of parents of students and know a number of them would go one to classes like you described. They don't move thru a progression of grades like kids in general ed but are grouped based on level of functioning and IEP goals.

I understand why it might give you pause that the classes is described as 'learning support' rather than grade, making it clear these kids are different. But, really, what other term would you use? They are in a grade, the are in a learning support class. Their parents also had to approve, as we all did, the use of their photos by the school.

What would you recommend the school do differently?[/quote]
