        Extremely disappointing experience in 2012-2013 for 3rd grade child in the Learning Center. IEP pre mtgs witg predetermined outcomes…family did not feel part of the team effort to decide best COA for student. Interim principle, cluster sped supervisor, school sped coordinator refused to collaborate to identify optimal plan fwd. The feeling was an ‘Us’ vs. ‘Them’ despite efforts to provide team building opportunities for sped families and sped staff. Speech therapist spent more time expressing her disgust regarding my daughter’s runny nose and her difficulty in self mgmt. Teacher could not see outside results of test scores….IEP conversation was linear and always pre-determined… always about what my child could not do. Many families complained for the same reason and only those who could afford advocates ans lawyers had a shot at providing a winning individualized plan for their child. I hope the sped program and leadership is much better now.

        Concur. We were there from 2011-2015 timeframe. The famous line that still sticks with us today that was said by an IEP member is: ‘we handle all types of learners.’ Complete and utterly false. Frankly, this school and MCPS writ large is a borderline criminal in their treatment of neurodiverse kids. One teacher tried to blame us that ‘we did not prepare our daughter for the rigors of MCPS.’ (Laughable. The teachers were not even allowed to use the word dyslexia and were clueless about the Pearson curriculum they had just been given. By the way they STILL use it today even though they paid $500,000 to Johns Hopkins University years ago which told them: this is worthless). Utterly cold and uncaring place built for adults (the pensions, healthcare and salaries are some of the highest in the nation for K-12). May I never hear another teacher complain about their salary — it’s all deferred benefits! We will be paying them forever since women live so long…3 billion a year in waste. I’m not being sexist — fact, most of the county teachers are women.

        In addition, buildings in this cluster filled with lead, mold and asbestos. Classroom 2 at Dufief had a water fountain that was way above the EPA level for lead. So they literally made the situation worse for our child. Nice. The lead situation is ‘supposedly’ better now but mold is still a major issue — the building is 46 years old. Our advice: do not trust anything MCPS says, particularly to the Washington Post. They have an excellent Corporate Communications Department that spins everything in a positive light.

        Frankly, no child with a learning issue should be in MCPS — or frankly even a neurotypical child — given their complete and utter incompetence, particularly at Dufief.

      3. I抎 should check with you here. Which isn’t one thing I usually do! I get pleasure from studying a submit that may make people think. Additionally, thanks for permitting me to remark!

      4. One thing is that if you find yourself searching for a education loan you may find that you will need a co-signer. There are many conditions where this is correct because you should find that you do not employ a past history of credit so the financial institution will require that you’ve got someone cosign the financial loan for you. Good post.

      5. Great blog here! Also your web site loads up very fast! What web host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my web site loaded up as quickly as yours lol

      6. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this excellent blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will share this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon!

      7. An additional issue is that video games are typically serious as the name indicated with the main focus on learning rather than leisure. Although, there’s an entertainment element to keep children engaged, every game will likely be designed to work towards a specific set of skills or curriculum, such as mathmatical or scientific research. Thanks for your post.

      13. I believe that avoiding highly processed foods will be the first step to be able to lose weight. They can taste beneficial, but processed foods currently have very little vitamins and minerals, making you take more only to have enough energy to get throughout the day. Should you be constantly taking in these foods, moving over to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more strength while feeding on less. Great blog post.
