[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again.  I agree with the poster above.  It’s preschool.  Give him a chance.  I should say I’m also a teacher and have seen kids both in and out of general ed in Dcps. I don’t want him falling further and further behind.  Gen ed with supports is what I want [/quote]

But what makes you assume he will fall further behind outside of gen ed? I have seen/experienced the opposite - the young child who falls behind in gen ed due to lack of supports. Your starting assumption seems to be that he doesn't need the level of support recommended, yet I'm not sure you have the information yet to know that? Maybe you are right, but you need more information. [/quote]

Then you give them the supports they need in gen ed. I was able to get a full time aide for my K student. They yelped and fought and bitched and moaned and told me it was too much. But by the end of elementary, the social worker pulled me aside and tole me she couldn't believe his progress, and that we we right to fight for gen ed with pullouts. He's in high school now, taking classes in general education at the high school level, while those who stayed in the self-contained program remained in the self-contained classes at the third grade level.
