[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah my daughter had juvenile harassment charges against a boy in her school and the only thing they offer up is they can’t be the same class or MY child can put in for a COSA they would immediately accept.

So no, unruly kids, bullies, and even those with charges have more rights than the victims. [/quote]
This is a travesty and a perversion of the law. No other country in the world has to fear school sanctioned classroom violence by deranged kids.[/quote]

Indeed it is. The only thing that will change it though is if people start taking this insane practice to court and we get new legal rulings issued. [/quote]

Courts aren't the issue. It's very hard for families to prevail against schools in court.

As discussed earlier, the issue is money. It is far cheaper for schools to keep kids in general education settings without support than it is to  move them into a specialized program or pay for a paraeducator.[/quote]
No, there’s nothing “cheap” when you’re assaulted.
Which support needs to be available for violent kids?[/quote]

It's cheap for the school, and they're the ones making the decisions here. They don't want to pay for a paraeducator, a special program, or private placement.[/quote]

Please stop saying it’s cheaper for the school. The school doesn’t pay for alternative placements and wants kids in the right learning environment. Teachers, counselors, and administrators work so hard accommodating and documenting when a child is clearly misplaced in a mainstream environment. The county requires a lot of evidence and if parents aren’t on board it takes an act of god for the county to risk a lawsuit and send the kid to an alternative placement against parent wishes.[/quote]
Typical bs. Exactly which administrators do you believe are working so hard? For whom?[/quote]
