[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not so much the schools (ie, the building), but the teachers, parents and students.  I had DS at a MD public elementary school for two years, which felt like a lifetime.

How is their special education program? [/quote]

For the special ed kids, it looked great.  For my ADHD kid, [b]having the special ed kids was one more unneeded distraction.  (There were 4 autistic kids in his small 32 person classroom.)[/b] [/quote]

Really?  How entitled of you. :roll: 
I’ll bet that your kid was the distraction to everyone ![/quote]

He was!  So we adjusted his meds so he wouldn’t impede the education of the children of other taxpayers.

But entitled?  Well, I pay over $70k per year in Maryland taxes, so I should be able to send junior to a decent public school where his education — and not half-assed social engineering — is the top priority.    [/quote]

You have enough money to start an entire private school with small classes for your kid.
But the public schools apparently don’t. Or, maybe it’s the teachers unions fault for insisting that small class sizes are a bad thing because there aren’t enough ‘qualified teachers’ to be hired. But the special kids have a right to a mainstream classroom just like your kid does. Demanding that certain kids leave your child’s classroom is incredibly entitled. It’s the pinnacle tippy top of entitlement.

Many of us pay taxes all of our lives and never send a child through the public school system. Just because you ‘pay taxes’  doesn’t give you the right to demand much of anything except for your child’s free education as it is offered to him. [/quote]
