[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. How do you know which teachers have the inclusion classes so you can request that your kid be placed with a different teacher from the start of the year?[/quote]

You can easily tell by who’s in the class. A lot of low kids and behavioral issues. [/quote]

Interesting. My 2 coworkers had lots of ESOL kids and the kids failed almost every test. I had the SPED kids and my class passed all the tests and the SOLs.  Everyone complimented my class and the specialists said I had the best class in the school.

So ok, go with your logic.[/quote]

First, if you are teacher, thank you for your hard work and congratulations on doing a great job with your students!  Second, you should share your methods for success with other teachers as students are having wildly different experiences across FCPS. But, also, please keep in mind that your personal experience is not a norm. Only a study by FCPS could actually answer the question of a success rate of students in SPED classes. At our school, SPED class that my kid was randomly assigned to had the absolute worst academic performance and teacher watered down curriculum compared to all other classrooms across the same grade. This is the reason this thread is 19 pages long and growing. Something has to change. [/quote]

My first principal (way, way back and not with FCPS) told me to NEVER water down the curriculum - but to make it more rigorous. So if the student can’t reach   the rigorous content then at least they met the standard.[/quote]
