Schools usually honor requests to avoid another child, so you can ask why this request was not honored.

However for all the rest, shame on you, OP!

What you expected was highly unethical and immoral.

I have been on the PTA Board for years, and would not tolerate it if my child received favors as a result. That is NOT why I volunteer.
I want to help all the students, not my children in particular.

And as the parent of a child with special needs, I find your remark about the slow learner particularly offensive. At our MCPS school, children with special needs do not slow down the rest of the class - they have aides in the classroom, who help others as well as the child in question, so it's actually a bonus for everyone.

You are a disgusting human being. [/quote]

As a teacher, I can assure you that the special needs kids DO slow down the pace for everyone else, or at a minimum unevenly divert teacher attention away from the other students. And I have never seen a school where the SN kids who are placed in mainstream classes have an aid sitting with them all day. [/quote]

OP here. I don't have a problem with "our" SN kids. There are two and they both have aides most of the time in class. they cannot be both in one classroom, I get it, each class will get one. It's ok. 
But I have a problem with 2 kids who are repeating a grade both being in one classroom. Plus another child who has some LDs but no aide. I may not know something about the other classroom, but I don't think they also have 2 kids repeating a grade? [/quote]
