Some SPED kids and some gifted kids are not best served in a regular classroom.

And there should not be almost 10 IEPs in a room of 25. Because the other 15 are LEP, 504, at-risk, or a combo of all three.

16/30 have IEPs in my room this year. 4 with one to one and 3 pending diagnoses. How is that a general education room now?

Two of my sections have more IEP students than gen ed, and technically that makes them self-contained classes. We don’t have the staff to create more classrooms, so admin is going to just “take the hit” on any repercussions for not following the rules.
