[quote=Anonymous]When DD was in second grade, her teacher and the LD teacher "team taught".  They had a double classroom.  I don't know how much was done separately.  Not sure if they still do it this way, but it seemed to work fine.  DD never complained and loved the LD teacher.  DD was a gifted kid, but socially naïve.  Not sure she ever understood that he was not her teacher, and that was fine with me.

I'm sure he worked separately with those who were "his" kids, but it was a nice inclusive class.  There was one mom who called me and wanted to "stir" things up--she didn't like the "other" kids being in the class.

When my DS was in high school, he was in a "team taught" class with the Special Ed teacher and the science teacher. Same model as the second grade class my DD was in.  DS said the class was just awful.  He complained about the behavior of the kids, etc.  I imagine the gap was more extreme than in second grade.  After that, DS decided to take Honors classes.  DS was far from a model student, so I suspect the behavior issues  must have been quite bad.  DD had the Science teacher prior to that (Honors class) and she was a great teacher.  Not sure the LD teacher in there with DS was so good.  Sometimes, it's just the chemistry of the kids in the class--or the teachers may not have worked well together.[/quote]
