[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child with special needs has been very well served by ACPS.  Our child is receiving great services and we could not be happier.  We are not the only parents of a child with special needs who feels this way.[/quote]

That's great and I am happy for your family.

But please be sensitive to the fact that only 27% of "students with disabilities" (to use the language VADOE uses) are proficient in reading and only 20% are proficient in math. [/quote]

And???  How does this invalidate our happiness with the service we are receiving from ACPS?  It doesn't.

We're happy with the services that our child has received.  If you are not, then you need to proceed with ACPS.  However, your outcome does not invalidate ours.[/quote]

Different poster: The statistics do not invalidate your personal experience but your personal experience does not mean that ACPS does not have a systemic problem meeting the needs of special needs students.  The statistics reflect that systemic problem.[/quote]

Please point out where this was even part of my post.  I'll wait ...  You can't.  So stop disparaging my post and trying to turn it into some kind of argument that suits your narrative and only your narrative.

My advice to you is to stop trying to fight with everyone.  You might actually begin to get somewhere if you become less confrontational.  I am convinced that one of the primary reasons why our child has been so successful with ACPS is because we don't see them as the enemy and we are not argumentative a-holes every time we talk to them.  We treat the ACPS teachers and admin like the professionals they are, and they treat us like the knowledgeable and concerned parents that we are.  I have gotten everything that I have wanted for my child when I've asked for it and, in fact, they have given our child more than we've asked for.

There are other parents like me.  They work with the school system and the school system works with them.  Try it sometime.  You'll be amazed at the results.[/quote]

You keep denying that others have difficulties with ACPS and blame the parents for it.

You have proven yourself to be a selfish a hole.  I feel no remorse trying to advocate for my child.  [/quote]
