Question

If a kid is inresource classes are tehy considered to have a disability?

Answer 1

Generally, but not necessarily. Resources classes are offered to ALL children who need extra help (at least that is how it is where I am from). But, often when a child needs this much remediation, it has an underlying cause, aka a disability, be it cognitive disability (like a learning disability or a developmental delay) or a physical disability (such as paraplegia or a severe illness). But sometimes children simply fall behind and need extra help.

Answer 2

not neccessarily. Sometimes they are in there to get the added assistance that they can't get in a classroom that has no real time for one-on-one.

Answer 3

Not necessarily.  Some students who are enrolled in resource classrooms have difficulty in social situations.  I worked for CGGS in resource classes and juvenile halls and a lot of kids were in there for gang related issues.   They had a limited background of education so most of them were working on excelled life skills (meaning if they were 16 and pregnant they were learning how to read a pay stub and bank statement; how to write a check and apply for a rental lease on an apartment etc.)   A resource classroom may be an opportunity for a student to gain valuable real adult life skills that the standard school curriculum does not offer.

Answer 4

no, but can possiby be true.  Lower student may need extra help to boost up their average and help them excel which teachers cannot do in the classroom.
