[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God forbid the "SN" kids contaminate your own special snowflake.  [/quote]

Can we please have a civil conversation. Snowflake is tired.    I think there is a lot of misconception abut CMI that is not really cleared up at the open house.  A school with 30% of the kids with potentially very serious SN is worth a discussion.   Some of those kids may have mild ADD, same may have severe autism But 30% is a lot. Its a fair question to ask what supports are in place so that neither group of kids is short changed.   No one said a word about contamination. But I think its a fair question to ask if neurotypical kid is in a class where potentially 20-30% of classmates have SN,  is the teacher capable of managing this? Are there aids for kids who need it? Is there legitimate differentiation for kids who are doing more advanced work.  Why are people so defensive. We all want a positive and challenging and supportive enviroment for our kids  When you refuse to have the conversation then I can only assume you think your kid is being screwed over in some way and thats unfortunate.

I just have very little tolerance for people trying to create these boutique perfect school experienced for their kid - to the extent of suggesting that well-regarded charters are some kind if crypto-special needs institutions that will prejudice their "typical" child. [/quote]
