[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More is coming. We’ve been told “buckle up,” because the new push from above is to have at least 80% of kids with IEPs mainstreamed for at least 80% of the school day. Apparently FCPS has too many kids in separate classes.

How this fits in with IEPs being *individual* plans that shouldn’t be affected by the desire to make inclusion numbers higher, no one has explained to me. [/quote]

I'm not teaching anymore, but most kids with IEPs do not go around attacking other kids.  The kids who harm other kids need a different plan.

And, contrary to what a PP said, "training" cannot always prevent this.[/quote]

It’s like reading comprehension isn’t a thing. For the 5th time- TRAINING PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM GETTING INJURED WHEN THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR. Clearly, very clearly, other issues need to be addressed. But the SAFETY of students needs to be PRIORITY. Not training staff is NEGLIGENT.[/quote]

Um... teachers *have* been trained.  That means nothing when you have a kid who is hurting others, the teacher, or him/herself.  What do YOU suggest?  Have you ever been in a classroom?
