The solution, for those who can afford it, is to buy into the wealthiest school district (or send your child to private). Those parents have the money to pay for therapies and assessments for their kids, and those schools have slightly better IEP teams and resources to recognize problems and address some of them with services and accommodations (if private school, they're not required to offer the same services as public schools).

This is what we did. Apart from the usual chaotic early elementary years (when parents of kids with issues are scrambling to realize what they're dealing with), none of my kids' classes have had major issues. My oldest is graduating high school this week, so we've done all K-12.

Now this isn't to say that some teachers don't have discipline problems in their class, or that the middle school afternoon bus isn't a war zone. But it's OK. I suspect that level of chaos has always existed in public schools. Our high school has a vaping issue in the bathroom. My high schooler was never bothered by the vapers. It's those types of things. Not kids throwing desks and punching teachers or fighting in the corridor on the daily.

Thank goodness we have public schools so education isn’t restricted to the wealthy. Of course, if you aren’t wealthy, going to a public school may not give you an actual education.

Are you somebody who opposes charter schools or private school vouchers because you think they undercut public schools?  [/quote]
