Stedman Elementary

My child has autism and supposed to be in special education classes but in the beginning of the year, they put her in a regular kindergarten classroom instead just to "see how she does". Unfortunately, there have been a few adjustment and discipline issues that could have been avoided if she were in the place she was meant to be. The school even met with their other parent (principal, guidance counselor etc) and suggested she be medicated. Her normal therapists have not diagnosed her with ADHD but this school wants her to be medicated because they cannot teach her like everyone else. I'm sorry but this could have been all avoided if she were put where she is meant to be (in a EC classroom with teachers that are trained to handle kids w/ autism, Downs syndrome etc). In addition to this, she will also probably repeat this grade because the viruses have been out of control and everyone is passing things back and forth. They say they don't allow sock kids at school, yet my daughter has gotten horribly sick consistently. Their sick policy is a joke. So it's either come to school sick (which there seems to be germy kids slipping through the cracks) or miss so much school and have a meeting with the school threatening with CPS because she has barely been in attendance. This place is a circus. Do not send your kids here if they're neurodivergent or they have an average or below average immune system. I honestly want to homeschool her next year.
