Hi there. I’m a public school employee and I think there needs to be a PSA to all public schools parents that if you are going to choose a public education for your kid, you will have special needs children in your child’s class at some point.

These kids will have a variety of disabilities, ranging from autism, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, ADHD, etc. The kids with more severe disabilities will have a para whose job is to help them (not your non disabled kid). Special education laws state that these kids should be in the least restrictive environment and therefore likely end up in the same class as your non disabled child.

If you don’t like it you can choose to educate your child in a private school. Privates are not required by law to educate all children and often do not accept special needs children to their schools.

However, there will be many private school  kids with anxiety and/or inattentive ADHD who need extended time on testing . But that’s a story for another day. [/quote]

This is pretty dismissive of OP’s actual question.[/quote]
