[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]
Liar. It costs nothing to send a sick child home. Violent, mental illness is a sickness.  Sick children can not be kept at school. They need medical attention.[/quote]

Kids aren't sent home from school to get medical attention. They're sent home when they're thought to be contagious. You're not going to send home a kid with epilepsy or cystic fibrosis until they're dead or "cured". (Though, maybe you'd want to, since they're going to be among the students most expensive to accommodate).

There are clear legal protections in place to prevent schools from refusing to serve students with challenging medical impairments or physic, mental, or developmental disabilities. The unfortunatel reality is there are others in the world like you who would willfully ignore the needs of those students if it meant saving a little money on their taxes or sheltering their kids from the sad realities of lives of less fortunate individuals.[/quote]

MCPS is refusing kids.  There are lots of kid with challenges who were in the MVA and they shut it down.  [/quote]
So they got sent to mainstream classrooms?[/quote]
