[quote=Anonymous]The right response depends on the school, you child, what your child is doing in class, and the teacher's ability to deal with the behavior based his/her current class. I have a child with ADHD who aced 2 out of 3 SOLs in FCPS. He had an IEP, but was released from it in June because I agreed that his issues no longer impede his ability to successfully access the curriculum with the understanding that a 504 Plan or informal accommodations could be created at the drop of a hat. He wasn't in a self-contained class, but he was in a classroom with a higher than average number of kids with an IEP. That's considered normal (not necessarily right) for schools to put as many kids that have an IEP that they can in certain classes together. In MoCo, they treat ADHD a lot more aggressively and they would probably push for him to still have an IEP. Having an IEP isn't a bad thing. Op, I think that you need to take a step back and really evaluate what the school is saying. There's usually a good reason when the school comes to you about your child's behavioral problems. Go observe your kid at school. Talk to a number of your kid's teachers. Then, reassess. [/quote]
