[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was one of 5 non IEP kids in the IEP class last year and it was a total disaster and waste of a year. The teachers were tied up all day with social and behavioral issues, and the non-IEP kids were basically left to fend for themselves. It got so bad that towards the end of the year they would just play movies for the non-IEP kids every afternoon while the general teacher and special Ed teachers worked with the IEP kids. My kid literally learned nothing, and when I complained all they could do was promise that he wouldn’t get stuck in the same environment for at least the next two years. After that, all bets are off.

My DD’s school stopped doing this for the exact same reason. They would always stick a group of bright, highly motivated kids in the IEP room to make it easier on the teachers. The result was that the most driven kids ended up getting zero attention and many fell behind or just lost interest in going to school. It was really sad. [/quote]
