[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

There are kids in those classes who are way more intelligent than your child but have ADHD or high functioning autism so they have accommodations and support.  But you are probably one of those people who thinks it's unfair that those kids get support and yours doesn't.  My own child is SN but of average intelligence and will probably be in team taught classes.  One of my biggest worries is that attitudes like yours will rub off on people's kids.  Kids like mine aren't subhuman and to be "gotten away from".  [/quote]

I’m not talking about smart kids with ADHD or high functioning autism. I’m talking about kids who can’t read who would slow down the class. They should not be in honors classes. [/quote]

Kids years behind in reading are not in those honors classes. Team taught classes on the honors ELA level or mainly to support writing goals, anxiety, executive functioning, etc.[/quote]

I teach English Honors and English AA.

[b]I have students in Honors who are reading 4-5 grade levels below and who have never passed a Reading SOL. [/b]

Honors is open to all students, which means there are students below grade-level, even many years below grade-level.[/quote]

Ridiculous. This should not be allowed. It's unfair for everyone.[/quote]
