[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^BTW, Sp.Ed. encompasses a wide variety of needs, more intellectual disabilities to learning disabilities to emotional disabilities. 
Many, if not most, of these children are perfectly capable of following a regular curriculum with accommodations. You just don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]

I know that a huge range of Sped kids are pushed into Gen Ed in our ES (usually all in the same classroom with 1+ IAs). Including the sister of one of DD's friends, second grade, who is autistic and did not start speaking AT ALL until the end of K, and now has the vocabulary of a 2 year old. Or her sister, DD's friend, who is in 6th grade but reading at a first grade level (her mother is a friend of mine and told me this), and has to be reminded to go to the bathroom every hour or she wets herself. How do you teach a class where you have to differentiate for both this level of disability, plus ESL kids, and highly gifted kids?  We've had a lot of great teachers, but that's an impossible task.
