[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have had kids with 504s at multiple magnets and it was a good experience. (But no MS so can’t speak to it.) I have heard from another parent that the Eastern program has a lot of reading and writing—really a lot. So I’d think about whether stuff like extra time would really be desirable or whether your child would just always feel underwater if reading and writing take a lot longer. If that’s the one you are looking at, I’d specifically ask whether they have had dyslexic students before and how they accommodated them.[/quote] It is an immense amount of reading and writing. College level texts. Full essays in 6th grade. A ten page research paper in 7th grade. The workload is not reduced for SWD in the magnet. Hypothetically, a student with double extended time might finish one paper a week later but miss the breather between major assignments that other students got. [/quote]
