[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 566602, member: 11791"] Something I don't get about the teacher(s) who "don't want her in their class"... one of the comments was about whether she could "keep up". If they can (and they do... even here in dinosaur-brain land) mainstream Down's kids, they can mainstream anybody except extremely disruptive behaviors. The Down's kids are not even working at grade level. They do their own-level "math" when the other students have math class, same for reading. They "help" with science - and DO learn but not the same expectations. Mainstreamed for art and music - and graded differently. If she has an aide, and a resource room (which the ED classroom would be), she should be able to do modified work, for a minimum. The cooking class is a good example - maybe she needs modified paperwork, but if she can keep up with the cooking part to the same level as her peers then she deserves to be in the class. (I live in an area where most attitudes and services are several decades behind the rest of the "North American average"... if we can do it, California can do it.) [/QUOTE]
