[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why a kid should get extended time to take advanced classes. If the kid is so “bored” in regular class he should use that time to work on executive functioning until he is able to take advanced classes without all of the hand holding and extras. It’s just ridiculous. I realize that pride is at stake for the parents of these kids, but it’s gone too far.[/quote]

You sound like so many teachers at the school where I teach. These attitudes are so harmful, damaging to individual students, and lead to smart kids dropping out of school. Clearly, you have never had a 2e kid. Keeping them engaged is really hard when the content is boring. [/quote]

You have no idea what my kids are dealing with.

But if a kid can’t handle “regular” classes they don’t belong in advanced classes. This is obvious to all of us who don’t have an outrageous sense of entitlement.[/quote]

Wrong.  You truly have an axe to grind against parents with SN kids who are bright.  Please get some help.[/quote]
