Rhosyn I would do interviews at both schools if that is possible. See which teacher seems the most interested in your son and if they seem to want him in their class. Go with your gut on this one. LizI'm posting this because Brendon is starting school very very soon. I had a meeting to discuss placement options earlier this week. One of the placements is at the school my sister teaches at, and my neices and nephews go to school there. My oldest neice just told me that the self contained special ed teacher B would have is not a nice person. She frankly told me that the woman is predjudiced and does not give her full effort to children who are not the same race she is. I am planning on meeting this person before my kid goes into her classroom, but I'm suddenly more afraid than ever. I would hate for my child to be discriminated against because of race when he's going to have a hard enough time as it is. I figure if anyone would know this information it'd be the students at the school so I asked the girls what they thought of this teacher. I'm second guessing my first choice school. I'm afraid that when I go meet the teacher she will "put on a good face" and then when B is in her classroom he'll be mistreated. I'm so torn about this. I'm thinking about pushing harder for the closer school now because my nephew only has good things to say about the special ed teacher at that school. He went there until his mom got a job teaching at the school he's at now.
