Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 Would my boys qualify to attend a General/Regular Education Summer school program(for their IEPs) vs. the Special Education Program EYS that they have been attending? From past experience, the age levels and disability level are to such an extreme in the EYS classroom. Both boys are in a regular education setting during the academic year.

Don't let the precious days go by in which objectives are not taught because of overcrowding, scheduling difficulties, down time, etc. I am telling you again and have been witness to the fact that many contact hours are wasted during any given school day because of inefficiencies in the classroom structure that spin out of control. Perhaps when your ARD Facilitators race through that bit of the ARD leading you to witness agreement that your child CAN learn what he needs to learn within the regular framework of a school day, you can stop them and voice your disagreement. I have seen this statement made aloud in every annual and the team all nods their collective head that the school days as offered are time enough when clearly they are not. EYS is their current cover for not providing effective year round instruction and it should be blown.
