[QUOTE="DDD, post: 141315, member: 35"] How I wish educators could "get it"! I am very thankful that there are caring, introspective and intellectual participants like you. This week I am again outraged by the choices of our School Board. They have blatantly demonstrated their lack of concern about those who need help. How?? They have decided (by a close vote which is better than unanimously) to fund an IB school program in our county. The IB program is "needed" so that "our brightest" are prepared to compete in the top college environments upon graduation. WHAT????????? My easy child/difficult child was in the "gifted" program before he left high school. As a "gifted" student he got the following: (1) One high school course that was basically library science and 'available' to gifted students only. (2) A monthly "lunch in the media center" for gifted students so they could share any issues or problems they had being gifted. He dropped out of school. My AS, difficult child has had "social skills" in his IEP since fifth grade. He is now in 11th grade and there is NO money for support programs. If he did not have us.......he would be a dropout. The budget is reduced for next year "due to monetary constraints" and will result in a reduction in staff in the various schools. WHERE is the IB money coming from?? The budget! WHY do fewer than thirty students need to be prepared for possible admission to Harvard why the drop out rate soars?????? It makes me sick! DDD Again, thanks to you and your compatriots! [/QUOTE]
