[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean "the same form?"[/quote]

Every year (towards the end) in the News You Choose emails you get from your school, there is a form where you can request teacher traits and that kids are separated/kept together.[/quote]

Our school has this, but our principal is hiding the fact that a large group of sped kids is grouped together. I didn’t know that my child was assigned to sped classroom. He kept complaining about discipline issues and teacher being often angry, we even got several disturbing emails from the teachers about classroom incidents. When I tried to inquire about the issues, I was repeatedly told by school administration that all classes are experiencing increase behavioral issues due to Covid isolation. So, I believed them over what my child was saying. Then I started talking with parents from other classrooms and all were shocked! None of their kids had to deal with severe disruptions on daily basis. We are supposed to trust schools and teachers, but keeping this information hidden from parents should not be allowed. Other classrooms had incomparably stronger curriculum and mostly happy day to day activities. This type of discrimination should be unacceptable both for sped and non-sped kids. We have friends with kids with severe behavioral problems and they are mostly sweet and nice when provided all the necessary support. Having a classroom environment where one or more kids are having unmanaged daily issues with screening, crying and throwing items throughout the classroom should not be legal! And, no, 8 and 9 year olds do not benefit from being exposed to such environment without parents even knowing. I do not have a problem with a single child from that classroom. I have a problem with grown-ups who are trying to cover-up the issue. I do not believe that principal, counselors, teachers and social workers at my child’s school are happy with their inability to do more. But, they need to speak up, not hide the information from the parents, and, us, parents, need to bring up this issue front and center at our school board meetings. I cannot fight for my child if I am unaware of what is going on at school.[/quote]
