I am an upset CCES parent but I can assure you that I am not jealous of your kid's center placement.  My child didn't even take the test to qualify because it was clear as day that there was a learning disability at play that was completely ignored.  Kid didn't have a snowball's chance on hell of getting in to the Center.

So while your kids get enrichment, my kid still can't read and I am fighting for basic services in the exact same school where your kid gets enriched. The center keeps growing but there are not enough staff and resources for kids like mine.

Good for you guys but don't think all of the neighborhood parents are just jealous.  They just want the same attention and consideration from MCPS and the administration that you guys already get on so many levels.

The split lunch just got people talking.  A lot apparently.[/quote]

I can assure you that there are kids with special needs at the centers too and they are fighting like you for basic services JUST LIKE YOU. What attention and consideration do the center kids get that the regular kids don't get? I don't see any of that.[/quote]

I don't owe you my story.  Trust me.  What happened to my kid is not OK. Ignored for far too long despite my advocacy.  It doesn't sound like the center kids getting both enrichment and special needs have that problem.They've been tested out the wazoo courtesy of MCPS.  Because I was ignored I had to go outside the system to get tested. For $$$$$$$  My kid is now four grade levels behind because she was written off.  Even more $$$$$ we don't have will be required out of pocket to.  It nearly  broke my kid.  You can GTH.[/quote]

I am truly sorry for what you went through, but it has NOTHING to do with the Center and everything to do with MCPS not having enough school psychologists and not liking to qualify kids for services that are expensive to provide.  Your story is shared by many families at many other ESs who have also gotten private evaluations and fought to get their kids the special education services they need.  Truly, I’m sorry for what you went through and there are a lot of non-CCES parents out there who share your pain.  But it doesn’t have anything to do with there being a CES program at CCES.[/quote]
