[quote=Anonymous]OP, One thing you want to know about Bethesda that is evident in this thread is that there is a real ignorance and intolerance by some parents and the school administrations themselves for children with special needs. They believe that these children are too much work and bring down their perfect test scores.

If you can relate to these parents then you will want to avoid Bethesda Elementary.

If you want a wonderful, truly inclusive environment for your child where he or she will learn how to be friends with a diverse group of children you should look at Bethesda. I don't know anyone who actually believes what PPs wrote. In fact, the school is much better staffed than other Bethesda elementary schools as a result of all the paraeducators in the building.

There are special needs children at every school and the problem at the other schools is when these children need help there is no one to provide it so the teachers are overwhelmed. At Bethesda there are plenty of resources to go around.

There is a reason why the real estate prices there are the highest in the Bethesda.[/quote]
