[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The folks who are upset with MCPS teachers are now seeing what parents of children with IEPs have seen their entire school career in MCPS - lackluster effort from admin all the way down to paras and yes teachers. Oh, unless you are an MCPS employee - then your IEP kid gets the world.  Hope this will force some change.  Doubt it - but now the rest of you are seeing what we found on day one.  You are just catching up to the culture of MCPS.[/quote]

Well we are so sick of the IEP families complaining they want special treatment all of the time and do very little at home for their own kids. [b]Public school is for the masses.[/b][b] You are lucky you get more free personalized care[/b]. This is a pandemic. YOU WORK WITH YOUR CHILD FOR ONCE. [/quote]

I wouldn't wish you to be lucky here, but if your child had disability then he/she will get the special treatment as well.

Public school is for every single child and it includes child with disability as well.

While I understand the requirement for the federal law, I think it is a poor rule to set that you hold up the rollout of an unprecedented new system for all students to ensure that the special accommodations for the small minority are resolved.  It would be more helpful if there was a clause that within X amount of time (2 weeks?  3 weeks?) of the introduction of a new system that accommodations for special needs be available.  Holding up the release of a system for 165K students for some 10% (or less) of the students is just not good.  If you have a delay built in, then you can have different people working on the primary deployment and then after that, they can focus on fine-tuning the system for the special needs.  It's not good to enforce the delay on everyone to meet the needs to make the system fully comprehensive on the first day.  [/quote]
