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.

Expelling disruptive students and sending them to alternative schools would solve so many of these problems. There is no reason to sacrifice a year of school for a whole classroom because Larla is a chair thrower or Larlo likes to scream at classmates [/quote]

Oh, it's that ignorant jerk who discriminates against special ed students and refers to them as chair throwers.

A lot of you nt parents seem to always assume that any class with any number of special ed students is less than any other class. That is the root of a lot of these complaints.[/quote]

Why do you think people conflate all special ed students? No one cares if their kid is in a class with a kid who has medically controlled ADHD or a kid with ASD who is a great student or a kid with dyslexia. People care when they have kids with behavioral problems in a classroom.[/quote]

And yet, many/most behaivoral problems are not kids with IEPs ... and for the kids with the IEPs, generally the school is not providing the services it should.[/quote]
