And who does this in MCPS... W school parents.[/quote]

I doubt any of these activities are unique to W schools..and what percentage of kids have a lawyer involved in their 504 plan?[/quote]

Probably hiring a lawyer is something that people with more money do more often than people with less money.

And sometimes people with less money can't hire a lawyer even though they need one, and other times people with more money do hire a lawyer even though it's absurd.

Regardless, I don't think it's what people usually mean, when they talk about "supplementing". They're talking about Singapore Math at home, not lawyers.[/quote]

Supplementing is whatever you need to do that is outside of MCPS to get your child through a crappy school system.  If MCPS would have the best intentions for the child, then lawyers wouldn't be necessary.  However, many children with disabilities are treated like they are not worth educating so the system is greatly stacked against them.  I have seen MCPS at the highest levels intentionally "make mistakes" and make inaccurate statements to deny a child services.  When it means your child future, lawyers, private testing, and private educational services are the combined supplements for the child.  Sometimes, lawyers can get MCPS to pay for the private services that they should have been provided to begin with.

Collaboration is a two way street but unfortunately MCPS administrators tend to operate as bulldozers and do not focus on what is best for the child.  Perhaps W parents are educated enough to know with MCPS is shoveling crap at these "team" meetings.[/quote]
