[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is terrible but its part of a larger dicussion on inclusion. Most teachers are not trained to deal with kids with severe mental/physical disabilties, espeically in a class with 20 other kids who need attention. So Im not surprised this happens, unless the teachers are specifically trained for high needs kids I wouldnt want my kid mainstreamed in the class.[/quote] That is assuming that there is only one child with special needs per class, what about when there are more like in DCPS. Maybe not physical needs but definitely mental and especially ED, in some schools there are many students with behavioral and learning delays in some classrooms and teachers are not supported nor are the students. What DCPS then tends to do is put them all in one classroom under the guise of inclusion, but it's not![/quote]
