[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to ask that we all start making a distinction between students with IEPs and students who have behavioural problems.  I understand these things are sometimes co-occurring, but they're not the same.

My MS student has an IEP and very much needs extra academic support.  DC is always placed in the inclusion classes, as it should be, but the problem is that DC is grouped with a handful of students who have such pervasive behaviour problems that my kid can't focus, gets very little extra help that is effective, and is miserable due to constantly being bothered by these kids.

OP, I understand your frustration, but I don't imagine you would be bothered because my child is handed a worksheet of sentence starters to help their essay writing or is given 3 minutes of time to go through a math problem one-on-one in the corner of the classroom.  The problem is not due to inclusion per se.  I think you would get more positive and helpful feedback if you appreciated the difference.[/quote]

Can someone please listen to this poster especially some teachers who are acting really discriminatory and ignorant. I'm also a teacher and the documentation I have to do for kids with 504 plans and IEPs is really time consuming but I find it much easier to work with students with identified needs because there is a clear process and help from other parts of the building. Resource can come in and help. When a child does is neurotypical then no one wants to help so those cases get more out of control and many times the parents even ignore emails or respond in a negative way that their child could not have possibly be acting like that. It's exhausting.[/quote]
