[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lots of 2e kids who could definitely be successful in these programs. Don’t let these posters who want a bespoke learning environment for their NT “grade-oriented” kids discourage you from reaching out to see if your child’s particular needs could be accommodated/supported enough. I would like to think it will depend on the specific program and the specific constellation of support needs. [/quote]

I agree, but I also think that if a child needs a resource class and extended time on tests than a rigorous magnet might not be the best place for them. The extended time can be problematic because there are only so many hours in a day making it really difficult to fit that extra time in. There is a lot of testing in the programs and teachers usually want students to come during lunch to make up the extra time. In a typical week your child might spend every lunch period making up that extra time, missing clubs and opportunities for socialization. That can also a scheduling nightmare so your child has to have really great executive functioning to pull this off. If your child is sick or has to miss a class for other reasons it only compounds the problem. I wouldn't want my child always feeling like they were behind.
