Post 8a
In elementary school I remember students with learning disabilities being taken out of the classroom for certain subjects. They would leave to get one-on-one help in whatever subject area they had difficulty in. It was made so routine that none of the other students ever questioned it or made a big deal of it. In high school, students with learning disabilities just had different classes than everyone else, so it wasn't really a big deal either. The students with ADHD were given medication. I think the school did a good job of helping the students with learning disabilities and placing them in the best possible learning environment. Students with learning disabilities require more attention and help from the teacher. So, by being taken out of the full classroom and getting that one-on-one help, it really benefits those students.

Query: Do you think medication is the best answer for ADHD students though?
ReplyDeleteIt was a similar situation in my school with the kids being taken out of the classroom. I am from an extremely tiny school so we never thought much about the fact that certain people left the room at different times because we had gotten so used to it over the years.
ReplyDeleteI agree, and this is basically how my school worked as well. No one ever really of them as being slow or different because we were all just use to them leaving during certain times. They were able to leave and get the help in the areas that they needed.
