[quote=Anonymous]I get why clustering occurs, but there is a distinct downside too, especially when it’s behavior issues and not learning impediments.  When it’s one disruptive kid maybe that’s possible for a teacher to control, but when it is multiple kids, that’s setting the whole class up for failure.

My DC was in a clustered classroom with a seasoned teacher and they ended the year far short of the yearly goals and missed entire units due to an incredibly disruptive classroom.  I realized in March that other classes were considerably further ahead and spoke to the teacher and principal about it, there was little they could do, and that spring I made a request that DC not be in the clustered class again the following year.  That was honored and the difference was night and day.

The feedback here from SN parents are that their children are more important than children who need less support.  That’s not helpful.  Every child is promised a free and appropriate education.
