[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best years my gen Ed kid has had have been in inclusion classrooms. The unfounded judgment of kids with IEPs is disgusting. [/quote]

It's not unfounded for many kids in these inclusive classrooms who have had very negative, even traumatic experiences.

My kid had to see a therapist for anxiety related to going to school in her inclusive class. Why? Because two students in the class regularly had meltdowns that caused the classroom to be evacuated. These meltdowns included lots of yelling, throwing items, and in a few cases, outright assault on the teacher and aide.

It got to the point where their class was evacuating the classroom weekly. The one student's behavior just got more and more destructive to the point where he trashed a classroom one time and the kids had to finish out the day in neighboring classrooms.

That's UNACCEPTABLE behavior for anyone. My kid shouldn't have been scared of going to school because of two students who, and I will just keep it real, are never going to amount to anything. One student is mostly nonverbal with significant delays. I cannot think of any job that he can do in his future. It's sad, but it is what it is.

When I was in school, these types of students were in their own classrooms. That's how it should be. If you're a disruptive student, you don't get to be mainstreamed.

Why didn’t you ask for a classroom switch?[/quote]

We did. [b]We even had the doctor recommendation[/b] but too many people requested one so they did not accommodate any.

That was the 2019/2020 school year, so the pandemic happened and school was closed and then virtual. 2020/2021 she did fully virtual. This is her first year back in a classroom and we switched to a private. She's much happier and doesn't sit and worry in class when a student is going to have an outburst or possibly throw something at the class. [/quote]

You should have started the 504 process. [/quote]

Heavens, no. PP would never tag her kid as one of the gross speds.  :shock: [/quote]

A 504 plan is completely different from a kid with special needs who requires special education services. Look it up.[/quote]

You don't understand 504s vs IEPs either so stop talking. [/quote]

Try again. My kid has had both. Idiot.[/quote]
