[quote=Anonymous]At my child's school, instead of trying to partner with families, the staff seems to have their agendas and work out their game plan/strategy prior to the meeting taking place. We have been rebuked if we comment or have questions. In the end, if we think the staff has not considered all the information available or we are unhappy with the out come, instead of listening and discussing our concerns we always get the challenge "You don't like it, then file for Due Process". If schools actually had the Burden of Proof that they were providing a Free Appropriate Education for the child, then maybe they wouldn't be so quick to push families into Due Process to resolve disagreements. Such processes are lengthy and expensive for both sides. MCPS would be better off using the funds they spend on legal battles toward supporting kids in Special Education and developing better means of resolving disputes.[/quote]
