[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op- how are you unaware of the PLOP or your sons actual reading level?

And class size has nothing to do with your issue. That is across the system.

I'll say it again- parents beg for inclusion (anything but self contained!!) then are amazed that your students are not having their needs met in a gen edu classroom. [/quote]

You are wrong on every count here.

I AM aware of the PLOP. I got the draft IEP late Friday for our Wed. IEP meeting. I didn't get a chance to sit down with it until that Sunday. And then I was pretty flabbergasted to read that my son's reading level was exponentially higher than it was just about two weeks earlier, when the teacher told me that he was at the reading level he'd been at all year -- and that she had just done the testing, and had it verified by another teacher. But that was before they realized we had filed a state complaint. It would have done me little good to bring it up before the IEP meeting. I wanted to bring it up with 6 witnesses in the room, including my advocate, and have it on tape. (The meeting was recorded at their request.)

The "class size" is actually a self-contained classroom that has kids from very high functioning to ones who are severely impacted. Teachers have found the mix so unnerving and unmanageable that they have already gone through 4 teachers in that self-contained class  this year.

And why do parents "beg" for inclusion, as you so derisively put it? Well, my son's gen ed classes are the only ones where he's getting an actual education of grade level content. And while he has support, he's getting As and Bs in the class. [/quote]
