Federal law mandates a free and appropriate education for ALL. Common Core constricts that.

How do the Common Core standards restrict a FAPE for all? Did school districts in states that adopted the Common Core standards used to provide a FAPE, but then somehow, for some reason, the Common Core standards made them stop doing it? Do school districts in states that did not adopt the Common Core standards provide a FAPE in ways that school districts in states that did are unable to do, for some reason?[/quote]
+1  And by the ^PP's definition, there should be no standards, and each child should be given his/her own individualized curriculum, tailored to each child's learning style.  Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful!  I think that's called home schooling.[/quote]

NP here.  I think the point the other poster is trying to make is that the CC stands require a lot more language learning in math.  This will impact many SN kids.  They will need further supports to access the curriculum (which is their legal right) but the school districts fight the parents who try to get these appropriate and legally required supports for their children.[/quote]I have no problem with additional resources for kids with SN, but this isn't what that other PP was stating.

The above post was in response to this post:

[quote]A child with receptive language issues needs a small quiet classroom without all the distractions. It would be nice if they had language specific classrooms but they do not. Your kid may hate a class that is too quiet but for many of ours, it would be a disaster. A child with receptive language issues is having problems processing. Having 10 kids talking over each other with a teacher doing the same would be too much and they'd just tune out. The world does not cater to SN, but when kids are young, to get them where they need to be, the SN need to be a focus so they can progress.[/quote]
The way I read the post, PP thinks accommodations should include small class sizes that are quiet.  This isn't possible for over crowded school districts with funding issues, which is about 99% of school districts in this country.  The only way to achieve this is to have special classes for SN kids, which means they won't be mainstreamed.  If you want your SN kids mainstreamed, then it means large, probably somewhat loud classes.[/quote]
