[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fairly certain that no MCPS home school model can implement 22 hours. But even if the school says they can do it, the service quality will vary greatly depending on the teacher. My child is in his home school with a fairly minimal IEP (1 hour pull out, 5 hours inside gen ed). His teacher last year was phenomenal and he made excellent progress. His teacher this year barely implements his accommodations. [/quote]

The first line of this message is most important. Having any general education teacher in charge of an IEP over 15 hours is almost impossible, yet that is what is asked of them. I am a teacher and I truly try my best, but when you have several students in the class that have such large needs, it is really hard to have the time to dedicate all that is necessary to make the child successful. I knew this as a teacher, but now that my son also has a large IEP, I see it from both sides. I have tried so hard to get him in another placement, but they will not budge, yet the teachers do so little. Then when we come to meetings, they jsut say he is having a great year. Ummmm, no, he is not having a great year![/quote]

DS has a teacher who tries very hard this year but there are several children in her class with push-in hour IEPS that total a ton of hours and she's unable to provide any support at all to my child who has very few hours. I don't fault her, but the system. The class is at the maximum size this year with 28.[/quote]
