[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You can also tell by if there's a SPED teacher in the classroom for a lot of the school day (and at back-to-school nights, open houses, etc.).  [/quote]

I realized that my kid was assigned to the SPED class only after the back-to-school night. This was three weeks after the school year started and too late to request classroom change. I also thought that the assignment might not differ much from other classrooms (I really have no issues whatsoever with integration of SPED students), but the school year was a complete disaster compared to everything we experienced before. Whether it was overwhelmed or untrained teacher or a really difficult combination of students, the drama was never ending. At this school, and under the same circumstances, I would strongly recommend avoiding gened assignments to the SPED classroom and complete overhaul of the management of the SPED program. There has to be a reason why some schools are capable of providing thriving integration of SPED and gened students, while others end up with a big mess.[/quote]

Big gross to calling it the "SPED class". Sometimes this forum really shows people for who they really are, and it's ugly. I don't know who you are, but I hope you take some time to reflect on why you feel the need to say things like this.[/quote]

And what is it called? Is SPED not official acronym? Please do explain since I do not understand why SPED term is offensive.[/quote] It is not an acronym.  If it were, it would just be SE.  It is frequently used by people to describe people in a derogatory way.   It becomes offensive because people use it in an offensive manner. Similar to saying "short bus".[/quote] I honestly was not aware of that. So you would say “SE classroom”? Similar to having gened, ESOL and AAP acronyms?[/quote]
