[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best years my gen Ed kid has had have been in inclusion classrooms. The unfounded judgment of kids with IEPs is disgusting. [/quote]

It's not unfounded for many kids in these inclusive classrooms who have had very negative, even traumatic experiences.

My kid had to see a therapist for anxiety related to going to school in her inclusive class. Why? Because two students in the class regularly had meltdowns that caused the classroom to be evacuated. These meltdowns included lots of yelling, throwing items, and in a few cases, outright assault on the teacher and aide.

It got to the point where their class was evacuating the classroom weekly. The one student's behavior just got more and more destructive to the point where he trashed a classroom one time and the kids had to finish out the day in neighboring classrooms.

That's UNACCEPTABLE behavior for anyone. My kid shouldn't have been scared of going to school because of two students who, and I will just keep it real, are never going to amount to anything. One student is mostly nonverbal with significant delays. I cannot think of any job that he can do in his future. It's sad, but it is what it is.

When I was in school, these types of students were in their own classrooms. That's how it should be. If you're a disruptive student, you don't get to be mainstreamed.

Your child already had anxiety to begin with PP. Your child is probably the only child in the classroom who reacted this way. This does happen in the lower elementary grades across the country because of increased demands of K and 1st and is not that different from behavior you'd see in preschools.

Instead of making vile comments about how kids with SN will not amounting to anything you should be focusing on how to help your child so she does not have this type of reaction to other hardships she encounters in the future.[/quote]
