[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm tired of everyone acting like any criticism of the current state of inclusion is a blanket intolerance of kids with IEP's and special needs!

Majority of special education students are best served in the general education classroom! And I want them there. BUT lets not pretend there are not cases where MCPS is placing them in their "Least Restrictive Environment" inappropriately and without adequate supports and supervision and it therefore derails the learning of entire classrooms or terrorizes grade levels!

In fact, it's not always even kids with learning disabilities but kids with emotional issues.

By jumping to the conclusion that anyone who critiques the current state of education is intolerant just shuts down a needed discussion about change that can serve everyone better! Because there are some kids that need more support and are not getting it!  [/quote]

Thank you. And if we want to promote inclusion then these critiques are necessary. I hate hearing kids come home and talk about how certain kids are “bad.” Often language that shames the child. It is not ok for anyone involved. A kid with special needs is being put down by an exhausted teacher while a roomful of kids watches and learns that special needs = bad kid. (And yes I talk about this with my kids and correct them but then they ask me why the teacher gets to say it if they can’t)[/quote]
