[quote=Anonymous]Our elementary had a great policy of dividing the kids with IEPs roughly evenly among the classes so if there were 5 classes and 10 kids with IEPs they would probably assign 2 kids to each class.

This wasn't followed to the letter. They changed it depending on the child's needs and the teacher's strengths and weaknesses. One year there was a teacher who was really great at reading support so she got a few extra kids. Another year they realized a teacher was horrible at behavioral support. She would just panic and overreact. The next year we heard she got fewer kids with IEPs.

I know you're talking about elementary but it is probably helpful for you to know this issue continues through the upper grades. DC was in some "inclusion" classes in MS where they concentrate kids with IEPs. It was a disaster. The teachers were always in a bad mood and took it out on the kids. The academic level was much lower than other classes even though it was supposed to be the same. There were some kids with behavior issues that beat up on the rest, verbally and on a few occasions physically.
