[quote=Anonymous]No, OP, MCPS doesn't allow this. It wouldn't make sense if they did. By awarding credit, the school system confirms that your child successfully completed the credit structure that MCPS is accredited to provide. Theoretically, they may be allowed to accept a transfer credit from another school, but I have never heard that used at the elementary level, only for occasional specific content classes at the secondary level. I believe that elementary school curriculums are accredited as a whole, but that is where you should look for your answer.

PPs who suggest the IEP or 504 are trying to help you get accommodations for accessing the curriculum, which could mean extra help in the classroom, but not to be excused from the class as a whole. If you do get the IEP to address this subject, it would be highly doubtful the county would get you a special individual teacher unless there are very specific disabilities involved that the original classroom teacher cannot address.

It is very difficult to really answer your question because you won't provide any specifics and issues such as these are complicated.[/quote]
