[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach self-contained. Your kid will get much more targeted intervention at her level. I would absolutely jump on it. You are not signing her up for life. Kids move back into gen ed all the time. [/quote]

I teach in a school and have never seen a kid move from self contained to gen Ed. Not once in 17 years. They may get included in social studies, but they continue to be based in the self contained room [/quote]

I’ve only been a self contained teacher for 5 years and I’ve moved 4 kids to gen ed. It’s based on the individual students, if a child is ready for gen ed they are ready. I’ve found the ball doesn’t move if the teacher doesn’t advocate for that child or the parent.

So technically you’re right, many kids don’t move because many teachers don’t bother, admin is ‘nervous,’ or parents are a little scared and aren’t given info.
So I agree with the previous PP it’s not for life with the right teachers or if the parent has knowledge. Your child will never just be moved out, they’ll get inclusion hours added to their IEP and have data to show they are doing well and be slowly phased out.[/quote]
