[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I know one set of parents who did this because they wanted to avoid some children with special needs[/b]. I know some other parents avoided this couple after they did this but then I heard their own child is kind of an anxious mess so maybe it made sense for them.[/quote]

My kid is the SN kid - and I asked that one child not be placed in her class this year due to how she treated my child - and the request was honored.[/quote]

We had the opposite problem;

My partner and I have always encouraged our child to be inclusive, open minded, and kind towards all humans without any judgment, including those directly around her.

There was a special needs kid who was mainstreamed (google it) into the class last year and our child befriended the special needs kid; most of the rest of the class avoided the special needs kid (I cannot prove that the parents encouraged the shunning, but I have a strong suspicion.  We were one of the only parents who agreed to a play date with this child.).

Problem was our normal child started mimicking many of the bad behaviors of the special needs child.  We were sent several discipline reports which only involved our child and the special needs child (not listening; not following teacher instructions).

We understand the issue; I get it - the special needs kid LACKED impulse control and was (and is) way behind developmentally, emotionally, and academically.  Our child was not behind in any of those areas.  If fact, our child was just accepted into AAP for next year.

In the end, we did not make any request for this year.  We just stayed out of it.  By luck, that child is not in our child's class.  As far as we know, there are no special needs children in our child's class this year.  The school disciplinary reports have stopped.  And although we never said anything whatsoever, our child has come to understand that those bad behaviors are not acceptable in the classroom or at home.  [/quote]
