[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not your status as a taxpayer that entitles you to those services; it's your child's status as a resident and a student with special needs.[/quote]

I know but PP seems to feel my child is taking something from her child. My child is both a resident and special needs student. It isn't like I am getting something for nothing all at her child's expense.[/quote]

There is no group so entitled in DCPS as the special needs parents. My kids have been with mainstreamed SN kids in every class who couldn't participate and took up a large share of the teacher's time, but they have every right to be there so they are. I've requested to keep my kids out of mainstreamed classrooms so they can go at a faster pace, but my kids don't deserve to have their needs met like the SN kids do.[/quote]

You're an awful, awful person. [/quote]

Awful to want my kids in an appropriate environment for their needs and abilities? Ok.[/quote]

You request to keep your kids out of mainstreamed classrooms.  If they are doing so great, they should be in all gifted classes where it would not be so much of an issue.  Or, here's an idea, supplement at home like many of us do.

I see it as mixed.  As a parent of SN child, this poster is so beyond wrong.  Kids who are said to be ok can have far worse behavioral issues that consume far more time than the extra few minutes the teacher has to take with my child than the ones who are acting up constantly.  Not all SN kids have significant needs or cannot be successful in a classroom.  Mine easily can with the right teacher and supports.  So, to say he doesn't deserve to be there is very strange to me.  However, I'd love if he were in a classroom with all kids similar to him. But, since SN is inclusive of many things, that's pretty impossible to do.

We were fully private and paid for our own services.  I could't imagine demanding any therapist come to the school nor would my kid want to be pulled out of class and stand out like that.  Its easier for the obvious reasons but the therapist can serve far more kids or give far more hours to each kid without travel, which is why I am against it.  We got a huge run around and gave up trying to get public services.

And to the nasty poster.. most of us wish we were not in the situation we are in with our kids but we are doing the best we can and want them to be successful and are very thankful for the few good teacher and therapists who do make our kids very successful at school.  Maybe you should check your attitude or go to private of you don't want our kids with yours.  I'll take a well behaved SN kid who tries any day over a nasty attitude, bad language kid who spends more time complaining, bullying and talking back to the teacher than getting work done. [/quote]
