[quote=Anonymous][quote]I hate to say this but I kind of agree. I have the utmpst empathy for those of you with SN kids and the struggles you face. My DD is in K though and has been pushed, hit and choked by 2 different kids with autism. I know those kids cant help it and I have tried to tell DD that but the fact remains she should not have to be at school with the threat of bodily harm from other students. 
I think the mainstreaming of SN kids has gone too far. I dont understand why there cant be smaller classes with special educators and have all the SN kids in one class learning what they need to learn at their own pace.[/quote]

I gently suggest you direct your energies advocating for increased funding for children with disabilities rather than opining on a forum for Children with SNs.  If you really had 'empathy' for us, you would know the reason there aren't smaller classes and more special ed teachers is because IDEA has never been fully funded by Congress.   Also, your ideas about segregation are grossly outdated.  Not all kids with SN have behavioral problems nor are all of them slow learners.  In fact, AAP/G&T is a type of special education.

FWIW, in 2nd grade, my NT DD was punched in the nose by a student in her class who did not have special needs.  He did not get suspended at all (this is an FCPS Title 1 school).  The family was already working with the school on his behavioral issues and I had every reason to believe the situation was handled appropriately by them.  An out of school suspension is NOT the answer here.[/quote]
