I have a very strange situation with a very pushy Intensive
Special Ed group who has forced their way into my advanced
course - to go unnamed at this point - that is very
technical and hard. It is a year long course. They have
tentatively displaced 5 very good students and I am getting
no support to date from Admin. In fact, they have not been
nice about this at all.

They are standing behind the inclusion law without any
regard for how this affects the course or other previously
enrolled students. I always thought there had to be some
notion of differentiation that is reasonable, but they not
only point to the idea that their kids do not have to
satisfy prereqs, but further do not have to follow a
syllabus at all.

Note that most of the kids in question can not do basic
problems from elementary school, much less and advanced
course.

Any experience with the laws and/or experience with making
this work. I would be immensely grateful for even kind
words. I am completely upset the first week of school!

Thanks!
