[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's damned if you do and damned if you don't isn't it?Remember the hue and cry when someone complained that Yu Ying has a non-immersion track for their students who are not at grade level in English.  [/quote]

That's right - it ends up not being fair to the rest of the students.[/quote]

I thought the track was for kids who could not learn Chinese, and that the two white kids who got put on that track pulled out of YY and two black kids stayed or something and then it all blew up.  If you figure out your kid has an LD that means they cannot learn a foriegn language (it does exist) do you stay at YY?[/quote]

It makes as (little) sense as having a kid with a learning disability, but who can learn foreign language and wants to learn Chinese, so you send him to Mundo Verde and demand they teach him Chinese instead of Spanish.  Basically that's what it seems like the PP keeps trying to suggest - that an IEP means you have carte blanche, to demand whatever curriculum is "appropriate" even if it's the total opposite of the school's curriculum, and that there's already another school that is a better fit and is perfectly well suited to meet your needs far more effectively.  That's where the process (and this discussion) is fundamentally broken. [/quote]
