Least Restrictive Environment be like: do I mean nothing to you?[/quote]

But what about the rights of the other students to learn? [/quote]

They are still learning… it may not be at the pace you want but that isn’t specified by law. Admin and teachers have to follow the law before the needs of the the other kids. Sorry, it is what it is. You should lobby for more flexibility for students to be transferred to other programs/schools; because now, it is virtually impossible to do that without SPED parents suing the district.[/quote]
+1 Hey, more opportunity to tell people about the law!!

Schools only must provide a “serviceable Chevrolet,” not a Cadillac, to afford a student a free appropriate public education (FAPE). The analogy is often associated with the seminal U.S. Supreme Court case known as Rowley, which said that public education requires only a “basic floor of opportunity,” not that schools “maximize” a child’s educational potential. The “Chevy vs. Cadillac” analogy was coined and used by lower courts after Rowley, and suggests that schools need only provide a bare minimum of services to afford a student FAPE.[/quote]

I know about the law, but [b]I do think that schools should maximize a child's educational potential. [/b]If that isn't the goal, then what is the goal? The dumbing down of society to the lowest common denominator? I truly want SPED kids to succeed, but I think for society we also need the gifted and advanced kids to suceed as well. One shouldn't be at the expense of the other. Currently the parents have to put in the extra work to get their normal kids to succeed. [/quote]
Private schools are always an option for parents who do not agree with the laws that govern public education.[/quote]

When the answer to a parent asking why their gen ed student's school year is derailed so that other students get their needs met is don't be poor, don't be surprised when resentment is the result. [/quote]
it's the law. take it up with the supreme court.[/quote]

FAPE is the law, but which students have to push in is up to the principal. It's very much a case of being a squeeky wheel[/quote]
True, but if the squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease...there's really not much you can do besides pull your kid from the school (and then your options would be to put them in private or homeschool). I'm not sure what else you there is. [/quote]

If you child is on the receiving end of out bursts, bulling complaints. If the nice girls are the ones who get put at the table, title IX complaint to the county. None of it is really a winning issue, but all of it is paperwork for the principal and you can make it constant. [/quote]
