[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: The "best" ever was when some kids in my Honors Algebra 2 class were earning low Cs or below, so I gave a list to the counseling department so they could transfer them out to a lower class, as per written policy. They refused the transfer. I showed them a printout of the policy, dated the current year. Their response? "We don't follow that any more." I keep a copy of that written policy, my request and their response, to look at when I need a wry laugh.[/quote]
That's really f**ked up.

Kids with learning disabilities should not be in accelerated math classes.[/quote]

Oh no, these were not kids with learning disabilities. They just weren't able to keep up their grades for many reasons, from lack of prerequisite knowledge to lack of work ethic. I'm very willing to spend lots of time helping a kid who has a good work ethic, but at some point some just can't keep up, and another class is best placement for them.

...and I have no problem with having kids with learning disabilities in my basic or advanced classes, if they can do the work and aren't causing disruptions - and if there aren't so many in my class, and if they don't have so many modifications and accommodations that I'm required to spend hours and hours dealing with it, that I just cannot do the job.[/quote]
