[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want my honors kid stuck in an inclusion class in middle school or high school. No way! That’s why we took honors in the first place![/quote]

I assume this is a joke - the curriculum is still the same.[/quote]

You can’t be serious. The pacing and peer group will be totally different and not appropriate for my honors kid to be with special needs kids. Eff that![/quote]

You clearly don’t know that there are special ed kids who are very smart and capable. We process information differently and need additional support and maybe some alternative methods to demonstrate what we know. I say we because I am an adult who was diagnosed in K with LDs and then ADHD as an adult. I earned my BA, MA, and PhD and have taught at the University level. I learn differently and didn’t really come into my own academically until the last two years of HS and then college. I did take honors and AP classes in the subjects I was strong in and needed support in the subjects that I was not.

The special ed kids in honors and AP/IB classes are very capable of being in those classes, they might need some support because of how they process not because they are not capable.

I don’t think that the requirements should be altered for the honors Team Taught classes. The students should be doing the same work with additional support. But the kids very much belong there. [/quote]
