[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ES had to go into a Hold the other day because a kid from a self-contained room eloped and stripped down naked and was streaking through the hallways.

Flame away, but that kid does not belong in a regular elementary school, self-contained or otherwise. [/quote]

Perhaps not, but it is strange that you're using an example that doesn't necessarily involve a serious safety risk or ineffective educational environment.

Regardless, the family would probably gladly accept private placement.[/quote]

+100, you think the budget is high now. Imagine the new budget after approving the cost of paying for private placement for all these kids.[/quote]

There are not enough private placements for the kids waiting for one and many of the options for them are pretty awful. Most of the private options people know about will not take kids with aggressive behaviors or emotionally disturbed kids. The ones that do are pretty spartan and not great places. Parents don’t want their kids there. It is an ugly situation over all.

We could, of course, make good schools for kids with special needs. But a lot of people aren't interested in doing things that don't have a direct and immediate impact on their own kids.[/quote]
