[quote=Anonymous]When my child was at MCPS they had a diagnosis of ADHD and dyslexia, and the learning specialist would meet with seven kids at a time and accomplish nothing. With these budget cuts even more reading and learning specalist are going to cut and overwhelmed. I’ve spend years advocating for kids who have diagnosed disabilities in the public schools and although they are legally supposed to do things that their IEP say this is not always the case and things are only getting worse. I agree that there are no perfect situations or schools but if you have the money I would strongly suggest you get out of MCPS, especially the kids who do not have severe learning needs and only need some support. The other thing that some private and parochial schools offer is for you to have specialist come in and meet with your child during school hours, which is so much better for them cognitively. I know this is another added cost at most schools for the parents. But the original poster said if you had the money, which I realize that not everyone does.[/quote]
