[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many schools put all spec ed in one room - depending on school size, program size, and staffing, there is often no other way to meet the requirements of the law in terms of providing extra assistance.  When I was a teacher, one classroom always had all the spec ed, another had all the esol, and so on.  To balance it out, whoever got all the spec ed also got all the gifted, or some extra really good students.  Sounds like your child is the balancer.  It can be a good thing or a bad thing to have spec ed in the class with your child.  It just depends on the teachers, the students, and the school.  And sometimes the year.  [/quote]

OP here. I am glad I am not imagining this grouping. I spent a lot of time with the kindergarten classes last year and definitely thought it was very obvious that this class got all the spec ed, some ESOL and then all the smarter/well behaved kids. I lucked out and my child is very well behaved. He is a really good kid and he will be fine with the spec ed and ESOL kids. He told me yesterday that one of his classmates can't hear or has trouble hearing and that he helped him. I was glad to hear that.[/quote]
