My own kid is at the "other end of the spectrum" in terms of his special need areas (like motor skills). He is 2e and gets pulled out of class for being "on the other side of the spectrum." It is what it is. There are far more negative ways of putting it. I'm talking about it like the bell curve, in terms of specific academic skills. Some kids are on the right side for skills like math and reading, other kids are on the left side. The other side. The kids who are in the bottom percentiles are the ones pulled out for interventions. The kids on the "right side" of the spectrum have special needs as well, but those aren't the ones being pulled out for interventions (although maybe they should be). That's why I clarified what I meant by putting in parentheses that I was referring to the kids with special needs on the other end of the spectrum. I'm sorry if I offended you but I don't really don't see why you are. My own kids have special needs so I'm really the last person you need to preach to.
