[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any teachers who have not seen the change are just lucky at this point. When you have a student that makes it impossible to teach, yet the county refuses to move them, EVERY child and adult in the classroom are affected.

OP- you are not imagining things. Students with severe disabilities are much more mainstream than they were even 2 years ago.[/quote]

That's not true.  My oldest kid (now nearly completing high school) had a blind child with cerebral palsy starting in their K class, so this is now over a decade ago. The child had a 1:1 aide--and the teacher said she loved that because that aide could lend a hand if needed as there were always 2 adults in the classroom, which is a gift.

Yes, some kids have special needs--but you're being very closed minded to think that it's always a bad thing to have those special needs kids in class.  The child I mention was a lovely kid--certainly better behaved than some of the neurotypical MCPS kids I've met.  My kid still remembers how they taught him a little Braille so that he could understand how he blind child was learning to read.  [/quote]
