So kids in SPED classes can be ignored? Because SPED only classes tended to turn into warehouses for kids for many different reasons. And kids who are capable and can excel are left behind because they don't receive the resources and help that they need. The comments in this thread point to why that happens.

There are lots of SPED kids who do well in school with some help and are very successful in college. There are lots of SPED kids who do well in school and choose a Vo Tech field. There is a small percentage of SPED kids who are disruptive.

And some of those super disruptive kids in your kids Gen Ed classroom might very well not be SPED kids but kids who are acting out for a variety of reasons.

But we do need more specialized programs for the kids who are struggling in the classroom and who are acting out. And we do need a way to speed up moving kids to those environments so that they can get the help that they need. They are expensive and harder to find Teachers for.

I’m the pp. I thought it would be better for the sped students. It wasn’t supposed to be negative. I may be thinking of disabled children, not ADHD or a little on the spectrum.

I have a friend whose child is severely behind. I know she is really worried about sending her to kindergarten with NT kids. Child is nonverbal. Child may never talk, May never read, may never be potty trained. This is a different kind of sped student.

The non-verbal students with mobility and toileting issues are often placed in Cat B room, not a Gen Ed classroom.[/quote]
