[quote=Anonymous]The county ended the Learning and Academic programs which had kids in a separate classroom during more academic portions and then included them in for specials/lunch. Full mainstreaming is good for the right kids and in small numbers with the right amount of support. Lately it's been a dumping ground. BUT, I think part of the problem is identifying kids with needs. We have great early intervention resources in MCPS - Infants and Toddlers, PEP, Child Find. But not everyone realizes their child has needs and not every doctor pushes families to use these resources. So, if you get 1 or 2 disrupters in a classroom, it can take a greater part of the year to actually get them identified and start getting them the resources they need. By that point, a classroom can be ruined.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about a sped kid acting out.

It's about the teacher not maintaining control of the class.

And not to say it's teacher's fault. Large classes, lack of parent support, who knows. [/quote]

The problem is least inclusive environment. Some SPED students truly belong in resource rooms in order to get the dedicated focus they need. [/quote][/quote]
