Dude, there are like 100 elementary schools in FCPS. Or more. Are you really suggesting that every one has a rich academic gen ed experience, because your children have been to three different schools? [/quote]

Not at all.  I'm just wondering how much of the idea that above average kids will be ignored and learn nothing in gen ed is real, and how much of it is an exaggeration/urban legend.  I hope FCPS focuses more on the fidelity of implementation.  The schools with dismal gen ed are doing something very wrong.  [/quote]

DP with example from last year (4th grade) I've shared in the past.  We are in western FCPS.  I had a parent teacher conference with my gen ed kid's teacher in late, late January.  Teacher admitted to me what my kid had told me: she had not met with his reading group since December.  She had them working independently because it takes so much time to get the other groups back on track especially after breaks and snow days.  She is a good, seasoned teacher stretched too thin.  Part of the issue is that Teachers are pulled into so many dang meetings (for IEPs, work sessions, etc.) that suck time away during the school day.  The issue isn't always bad teachers.  It is the system.
