[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kids who are neurotypical are also ignored. At my child's ACPS ES school, a teacher, when asked for help, would respond that it wouldn't be equitable for them to help students. They also cite equity as the reason they don't even give the most basic of homework. They were backed up by our elementary schools principal. My child's math teacher's standard response to in class questions was "you must not have been paying attention, too bad". Also backed up by the principal.[/quote]

I agree that this is not desirable or supportive behavior.  However, I don't view it in the same category as denying disabled students support that they are legally entitled to.[/quote]

I agree but it just further highlights ACPS’s failures - unless your child is of high iq with no challenges that requires individualized support, I think you should really question if ACPS can meet your child’s needs overall.

I saw this as a parent of former ACPS special needs student who had the exact same type of argument with an elementary school principal about supporting my child’s math instruction (which wasn’t really the IEP focus) during the pandemic year.  [/quote]
