When do your kids start school?

[bsblady01]

It's more common for kids with IEP's to be in a mainstream classroom then it is for them to be in a contained Special Ed classroom. Kids are to be educated in the least restrictive environment, it's the law and it's something parents fight for. When it comes to the general population and IEPs in general, it's rare to have a student that would benefit more from a self contained classroom as opposed to an inclusive classroom. Also since IEPs cover a wide range of disabilities there are far more children that just need some in class support or need to be pulled for resource room for reading and math then there are kids that would require the intensive and contained education found in a special needs classroom.

A teacher with any kind of experience at all has no reason to not have had a great deal of experience with IEPs etc. Having proved my point several times over now, I am now going to try to respect WMJ's request and will try very hard to not comment on this particular piece of fiction any longer.

We have a resource room for kids that need extra help

Please stay on topic. Thanks!

My apologies! As an educator I love chatting with other teachers throughout the country about their schools and classrooms.

New teachers start Sep. 6 for orientation, rest of the faculty starts Sep. 7, students start Sep. 8.

I will be at school on Labor Day working, as will some of my colleagues, although it's not an official work day. Maintenance workers (although non-Union) will not be working that day, so we will have to use our key fobs to get in, and we'll have to sign the log at the door when we come in and go out. Some schools I've worked at, you wouldn't be able to do this, but we can come and go outside of school hours as long as the alarms are not on (basically overnight). It's nice to have that freedom.

Thanks! We just got back from Bama Bound orientation. DD got the Presidential scholarship, so no tuition!!

Ds had a full scholarship at his college. Kudos to your dd for working so hard!

Almost feels like winning the lottery!

Have we ever had a thread that stayed on topic? I thought almost all the threads drift once they get to 4 or 5 pages long.

I never even thought this topic would go to 12 pages, much less stay on topic as much as it has!

My youngest starts school on Monday, July 25. She is in a year round school. My oldest starts graduate school in August but I'm not sure of the exact date when classes start.

Has there been a change in board policy where threads aren't allowed to go off topic?

From our site guidelines, please see number 8 regarding staying on topic.

Also, when a thread has as many reports come in as this one has had due to jabbing responses that have nothing to do with the original topic of the thread, the reminder of number 8 and even number 9 is in order.

Thanks and carry on....

Thanks for the info. I understand needing to stay on topic on the Trip Planning boards, but I've never heard of it on the Community Board. You learn something new every day.

I interpret that as Restsurant questions go on the restaurant board and not on the Theme Parks Board. Guess that's why I'm not a mod.

Oh well. I guess the threads in the CB are going to be a lot shorter now if we all have to stay on topic.

 

[phorsenuf]

I find it to be typical of a normal conversation. It's very common for other topics to be discussed. It's a normal ebb and flow, isn't it?

 

[DawnM]

Wow, who knew it would be this controversial. Although I am sure the controversy had nothing to do with the OT.

 

[Allons-y!]

Well then, my kid will return to school on Octobuary 45th. (It doesn'tmake sense, but it's on topic!)

I also understood guideline #8 as keeping the various boards on topic. As the example in the guideline states, don't ask about park hours on the restaurant board, or talk about your trip to CBR on the cruise line board, etc. I suggest changing the wording in the guideline so there's no confusion.

I interpreted rule 8 to be about boards, not threads. Seems pretty clear that it's applying to boards.

Anyhow, my child is in college. I don't even know when school starts.
