[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I decided to call the schools. Called highly rated Fairfax county schools- the replies were mostly they did not have an inclusion program. So basically my kid will be placed in a special needs classroom irrespective of how high functioning he is. Rest had a huge waiting list. 
I then called the schools this board suggested- FKES and Flora Singer, immediately got transferred to someone willing to help and basically got the response I was looking for- he will be placed in a regular classroom with extra help, a teaching aide. I don’t know I’m just very relieved and not getting the comments which spoke negatively about these schools. [/quote]
It's DCUM - there's [i]always [/i]negativity talking about anything or anyone in MCPS.[/quote]

I’m amused because the Op is trusting what the MCPS employee says will actually happen.  When an MCPS employee is speaking you have to seriously question what they are promising.  But keep hoping and then come back to this board and join the rest of us who tried to prevent you from getting the t-shirt.  Basically my view is Takoma Park cluster or bust - that’s the only neighborhood that’s cared about in the county…hope your kid can 2e into Blair Magnet / then you are a ‘good’ parent worthy of support (you have the right politics and your kid is making a really screwy public school system look good).[/quote]

Wow: you must have had some negative experiences, and for that I am sorry. Our story does not match yours. Everyone we have worked with has done what they promised to do or been honest with us when something could not happen. We have never had to threaten, argue, beg, or report one person to another; we have never been ignored or dismissed. I have to hope that our school shows the same level of interest and care to every family, because we don't bring any special connections or power to the table and I don't think we're particularly either low-maintenance or high-maintenance.[/quote]

Congratulations to you.  Know your experience is in the minority.  Although you didn’t ask we left DMV and all got better.  [/quote]
