[quote=Anonymous]Our child went to Rosemary Hills PS.  I realize it is not a "Bethesda" elementary school, but since it feeds to BCC, I would still consider it part of the "Bethesda" schools.

We were not happy at all with special ed services at RHPS.  Admin there constantly says everything is "fine" even when objective testing shows it is not.  Since RHPS is a K-2 school, they can basically do this because there is very little that is "graded" in anything but a holistic way.  (The exception to that is math).

We also found the administration at RHPS to repeatedly and aggressively ask us to waive IDEA timelines.  Personally, I felt this was done in violation of the law, but practically speaking consulting a lawyer and fighting about it would have not gotten us anything useful.   In the alternative, where the school wasn't required by the law to do anything by a deadline, we could wait months to get a meeting.

We also thought that a main goal of special ed at RHPS was to delay services until the kid ages out and it becomes a problem for the upper school to solve.  They quite effectively ran the clock out on our child without doing anything constructive.[/quote]
