[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The SN crowd? Really? I pray that your child never has any sort of problems of any kind, because your statement is pure ignorance. [/quote]

No, it's not.  My statement is spoken from the POV of having a child with some special needs who happens to be in a private school.

And you and I both know that the "accommodations" actually be discussed obliquely here in Page 2 of this thread are 100% designed to make the one child's life better for [i]that child[/i].   Sure, it's nice if there's some spillover effect and the other 27 kids benefit somehow.  But you don't go to an IEP meeting with the objective of improving the life of the other 27 kids.

The OP is asking what the other 27 kids can do to improve their educational experience. Ideas?[/quote]

Based on your earlier missive about the "SN crowd" (if you are the same PP), I doubt that you have a SN child.  If you do, the lack of compassion is alarming.

Anyways, actually I do go to the IEP meeting with the other 27 kids in mind.  My kid is [u]not[/u] a behavior risk and I want my DS to fit in to the extent possible. But I am VERY sensitive to his impact on other students and so is he.  In fact, we selected an IEP accomodation for him that resulted in a direct benefit to the other kids and we knew it going in. We had the option of having our kid pulled for Math or having the services provided in the classroom as a co-taught class.  So we selected the alternative that resulted in another Math teacher (not a para) being in the classroom and available to ALL of the students (not just our IEP DS).  We realize that our child is part of a community.  From my experience, a lot of IEP parents have tunnel vision, but a lot of us do not!

I gave my idea.  Get the disruptive kid on an IEP so that he can be dealt with inside and outside the classroom.  In MCPS, that is about the only thing...unless the paretns want to move thir kids or sue. [/quote]
