[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was always in the inclusion class in elementary because she was a high achiever at a young age and was very independent. She did not make it into AAP and was stuck. It was awful. She was ignored basically for the last 2-3 years and the expectations for her were so low that now her own drive and motivation for school is low. We placed her in all honors classes in middle school so thankfully she isn’t with those kids anymore.[/quote]

This is a trope at this point. Stop blaming SPED kids for your child’s lack of attention and motivation. “Those kids” are my kids and I think ALL kids deserve attention. It’s the adults with lack of funding that caused your kid to be ignored and become jaded. Just stop. [/quote]

Is it a trope?  When my DC was in elementary school they put all the IEPs in one class with a dedicated SpEd teacher and it was a mess.  My DC was pretty bright, super nice and an easy kid who didn’t act out.  That class was so far behind the other classes in their grade.  The behavior challenges were scary and disruptive.  I was pretty frustrated. After 2 years of this, I didn’t think twice about sending her to the center school for AAP.  [b]I hear all the time that classes need super helpful, bright students like my kid to balance out, and from my perspective it’s wildly unfair to the super helpful, nice, and bright kids.  I keep on hearing the same trope that it’s good for my child, but I don’t buy it.  [/b]She thrived in AAP.  [/quote]
