[quote=Anonymous]I have friends with a black son who can barely read, struggles with literally everything at school, and the school says he's fine (most likely because he is very quiet and well behaved). His parents knew something was up and demanded that the school test him. Principal refused, so they paid for the testing themselves. He is now officially diagnosed with a handful of issues. The school still fought it and it went up through the county. By the end of the year, he was finally beginning to receive some services...but not all. Several teachers and administrators told the parents (off the record) to keep fighting and that the county throws up these hurdles particularly hard when a minority boy is involved. Having said that, I have another friend with a white boy who essentially had the same scenario. Pretending kids don't have disabilities is wrong. And since it's a bit of an epidemic in MCPS, it's not surprising that so many kids are doing poorly on tests. [/quote]
