[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 278369, member: 3493"] My 9th grader is classified. He goes to resource room directly from his Honors Biology class. He is also in Honors math and next year he will be in AP European History and Intel research. If your son's testing shows that he is capable of advanced work, push for it. I told my CSEs that the least restrictive environment for my son is accelerated classes. We used the first one - advanced math in 7th grade - to show that he was able to do high level work. The more challenging the work the better his behavior has become overall because he feels better about himself. When the school told me that it would be damaging to his psyche if he had to be removed from an honors class, I told them that NOT being in those classes to date had already damaged him. I also told them that it was my decision to make as to whether I preferred him with good grades in regular classes or not so good grades in honors. As it turns out, my son does better in his honors classes than his non-honors because he is challenged and happy. Push for what your gut feels your son needs. [/QUOTE]
