It depends on the child.  The exposure from being in a classroom where this is happening is far more beneficial to my child who then picks it up vs. being in a basic classroom where he can be the top student as he knows all the material.  Its ok kids struggle.  That is part of learning.  They need to be exposed, encouraged and supported.  No, they may not be able to participate (mine cannot) but he's taking it all in and later when he can, he does.  It also takes a very good teacher to draw him out, which is a very rare teacher as most don't get it.[/quote]

As you said, it depends on the child. Mine child's issue is receptive language, and the way Common Core structures classrooms, he's not taking it all in. It's not visual enough and too loud and chaotic. [/quote]

So, you want school to be designed specific to your child's SN?  You want a classroom that uses more visuals and is quiet?  My kids would hate a class that is too quiet.  They like that they can work in groups, talk to each other, and move around.  I think most kids do.

Public education is designed for the masses, not for specific learning styles.  The world also won't cater to anyone's specific SN.  [/quote]

A child with receptive language issues needs a small quiet classroom without all the distractions.  It would be nice if they had language specific classrooms but they do not.  Your kid may hate a class that is too quiet but for many of ours, it would be a disaster.  A child with receptive language issues is having problems processing.  Having 10 kids talking over each other with a teacher doing the same would be too much and they'd just tune out.  The world does not cater to SN, but when kids are young, to get them where they need to be, the SN need to be a focus so they can progress.  [/quote]
They did a study once and found that young kids learn better when they can move around, and working in groups, sharing ideas, and communicating with each other.  I understand that those with certain SN don't learn well this way, but again, public education is designed for the masses, not for anyone's specific SN.[/quote]

Federal law mandates a free and appropriate education for ALL. Common Core constricts that.
