[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 191708, member: 1233"] We had a self contained class for 5th grade for my difficult child. He was able to go to the regular class any time he wanted. We had homeschooled the 2 years before because we were in a different state/school system and they REFUSED to help, support or accomodate him. The teachers way of challengein him in the old school was to have him be responsible for proofreading and correcting her letters to parents - and if a word was spelled or used incorrectly in those letters then my difficult child missed recess. This was in SECOND GRADE. They were so hard on him he was actively trying to kill himself. Not tthinking or talking about it - TRYING IT. So we homeschooled, then moved. the new SD was great. No safety issues like in the old SD, and they had a pull out program for elementary. So in 5th grade difficult child had a MAXIMUM of 4 children in the room and there were 3 adults assigned full time to the room. They worked on college level academics in the subjects difficult child was on that level and on elementary level on subjects where that was needed. It was an AMAZING year, in spite of some psychosis and delusions and hallucinations on difficult child's part. He went to the regular class 3 times to try it - then he told us that the reg teacher was an idiot and if he wanted to see someone's underwear all day he would do our laundry. The reg teacher dressed VERY provocatively and it was common for the kids to get a "flash" of her thong. He nailed her with the description. She used to BEG me to have him come to her class because he was very bright, but it was up to him. Anyway, the pullout helped difficult child a ton, largely because hte amazing teachers. So it CAN work, and many districts have a pullout class, though it is not widely advertised. [/QUOTE]
