Re: Twins and special ed program

April 10, 2002

Hello,

I have been lurking (and hate to admit deleting many posts as they are too

many to keep up with at times). This one I thought maybe I could respond to

regarding the person that has twins and they want them separated.

The schedule that you described sounds like it would be more confusing than

beneficial. I too have twins and even though many " school " people think it's

better to separate them as " they will learn better " I have not found this to

be the case! Each of my twins is their own separate person anyway they

function just fine in the same classroom. I will tell you that I think 30

kids in a class is way too many! That I would have much more of a problem

with!

I like the smaller classrooms as I have found that in the Public system they

do really try to do a good job with special ed...at times they don't! If the

teacher has too many kids he/she can't devote the time to implementing the

special attention to the child with special needs and unless that child is a

behavior problem the child tends to get overlooked. I think these first few

years of school are very important and really do set the stage for later

learning.

Just my opinion......

Have a great day!
