[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on the train this weekend and choose to sit in the quiet car.  Why can't schools offer a "quiet" section of the core classes?  Students would opt into the section and they would have to sign a contract agreeing to the rules of the classroom.  3rd time you violate the rules you are moved to a non "quiet" section.[/quote]
So put all the "good" kids in one class and the "bad" ones in the rest?   I'm sure that will go over well.  [/quote]

No one is “putting” anyone in any classes.  Kids would have to agree to the rules of the classroom.  It would be one section; the other sections would be filled as they currently are.  No one is saying that a talkative kid is a “bad” kid.  Some people just learn better in quiet environments.  What is the harm in creating a section of a core class that addresses that need?

Clearly you have zero clue on how life is for an ADHD (or any other LD) [/quote]

NP, I’m the parent of an ADHD/multiple learning disabilities kid.  Please educate me what this poster is missing because I obviously have zero clue too.[/quote]

DP. I have a child with ASD and ADHD. He would learn better on a "quiet" classroom, but he's not likely to be free from behavioral challenges there. Where should someone like that go in your view?[/quote]

You are identifying a specific reason why for a specific kid this wouldn’t work, which is totally appropriate.

The issue with the other poster was that they treated all ADHD/LD kids as one monolithic block, and then instead of creating dialogue (as you thoughtfully did by describing a realistic challenge) they just said obviously the poster was totally ignorant about all ADHD/LD kids.

That kind of blanket “other-ing” of ADHD/LD kid and there parents feels unhelpful.[/quote]
