[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a money game to them- in DC, each child is assigned money (to the school) based on their need level. I sound cynical, but I'm not conjecturing. [/quote] I don't think this accurately reflects their approach to special ed - if it did, kids would be getting more - not less - hours, including those with minor needs, rather than the push some parents have experienced this year to decrease services to kids. Not all kids, obviously, but some. But if they wanted to game the system, the way to do it would be to increase the kid's level of need (via IEP hours) without seeking out kids with greater needs - that is, load on services on kids who have minimal needs, to get the monetary gain from DC (since yes, money follows services), without the corresponding "burden" of actual needs at that level. Just noting. Not commenting on anything else in the thread or it's accuracy. But what they're doing is not the way to game the system. [/quote]
