I think that one needs to find out the population of general education students who make up the TT classes in a high school as they could be lower performing students who in various ways will benefit from a somewhat slower pace or level of instruction.  Or and this may be harder to get defined are they students less interested in academics who might cause more disruption within a classroom for students who already have learning challenges.

The flip side of the SC classroom is also what is the population within the classroom and what is the individual teacher's approach?  Are there students with disabilities who really are unable to benefit from the grade level curriculum other then "getting exposure to it"?  This would be a red flag to me that the teacher will have high and very low levels of ability to work with and to keep engaged.

At least by high school if you have a teen or daughter who can clearly report what is going on, a change could be made early in the school year if it did not seem like the right placement or not.  Keep an ear to whether one talks about too much disruption in class, the teacher is covering the material too quickly or slowly and that any accommodations are happening in either class setting right from the start.  It is very good to hear that FCPS does have a continuum of placements and not just "inclusion for all" on the cheap philosophy.[/quote]
