[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter had a horrible third  grade experience because there were a few kids who were very badly behaved with special needs.  The teacher was experienced but she could not handle it and she would yell at all the kids or just disappear into the copy room.  She quit the next year.  It was very unfair that my well-behaved and academic daughter was sacrificed as were the many other kids in the class who behaved and didn’t have issues.  The school clearly put all the easy kids with the challenging kids in that class.[/quote]

We had this too. One of our kids didn't qualify for gifted classes, but is very bright and advanced (when I was in school, they would have been on an "honors" track) and it was glaringly obvious that the school put the strongest students and best behaved kids in a class with every single SPED kid in the grade. That way, it was easier to ignore our kids and spend all their time and energy on the other kids, so ours got to "teach" themselves, but the school was fine with that, since our kids got good standardized test scores.

We put a stop to that quickly the following year.[/quote]
