[quote=Anonymous]To all my fellow mother and dads of SN kids who are willing to keep fighting -

I salute you.  Life is hard enough dealing with the daily needs of our children.  I never thought when my daughter was in preschool and missing developmental mild stones one after another that I would have to fight MCPS for a basic education for my daughter.  Instead of being helpful, they have stigmatized her, lumped her into inappropriate settings, dismantled her self esteem and self worth and then say that's the best we have to offer.  I have had to pay for private services to dismantle some of the damage but she will carry some of the scars for the rest of her life.  I have hired attorneys to continue the fight even though the damage is done in hopes that other children won't suffer what my child has at the hands of people who call themselves educators.

MCPS doesn't care they violate the law or if they even questionable practices are being used by staff working with the school's most vulnerable kids.  MCPS only cares about covering their asses and keeping parents with legitimate issues silent through coercion and confidentiality clauses.  I pray for the day both the State Board of Education and the Montgomery County Board of Education investigates common  practices by the Office of Special Education, school administrators, school psychologists, school administrators, general education teachers, special education teachers, counselors, and any other staff that routinely is involved in Special Education matters.  Our horror stories are common placed in Montgomery County but they are also replicated throughout the State of Maryland.  More should be done to protect the safety, well being, and education of Special Needs kids.
