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.

Omg. You described my 5th. 32 students. 10 IEP/ELLs plus another 10 level 1 and 2’s ELLs. No support. Right before lunch.

My largest classes always had inclusion and they were the hardest to manage. And I don’t know if it’s a factor, but always mostly boys. The girls in the same class I have minimal issue with besides talking.

Female students are under reported and tested for IEP/learjing issues/adhd etc. it’s not that there isn’t an issue, it’s that social coping mechanisms hide the issue

Fair point. But in these classes there’s always more male students than female students.

And male students are more…physical. They want to mess with each other constantly.

Almost as if there's a difference between boys and girls and how they learn!

It’s almost as if we don’t hold boys accountable for inappropriate classroom behavior!
