[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need actual classes for kids who need more support. Not everyone needs to be integrated. I've seen these kids in ES who are allowed to wander around and be extremely disruptive. Least restrictive does not work for everyone. We had a kid throwing chairs in ES for 2 years. That kids needs so much more and by MS and HS it would be a serious problem. [/quote]

And they shouldn't become the problem of normal teachers (vs trained to deal with them and violence) and good kids. 
The teachers and the parents of the kids affected who just want to learn need to band together. Their voices are stronger than the one obnoxious lawyered up parent who is not getting the kid the help they need.

Problem is, it's all hush-hush so parents and teachers don't know about or can't share about the problem. Convenient. [/quote]
You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. It’s incredibly difficult to get a special placement. There aren’t enough seats in special programs, there isn’t enough money, there isn’t sufficient staffing, the law requires the least restrictive environment. It takes a long time, many procedural steps, tons of documentation, expensive testing, and some luck to get a special placement. Things are hush-hush because all students are afforded the right to keep their educational records private by the law.[/quote]
