[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Set up schools within schools for students who constantly violate school norms with higher adult-to-student ratios, trauma-based services, and restricted access to the rest of the school. Pay teachers who work in these classrooms higher salaries. [/quote]

While this is a very common sense solution, it would be against federal law. Putting students in more restrictive environments (like special classrooms) require a great deal of meetings, evaluations, diagnosis, more meetings with families/advocates, and then (maybe) you can get a student moved from general education classrooms. Schools are mandated to provide students with the least restrictive environment (mainstreamed with everyone else) or go through the process outlined in IDEA.

As with most things, there are very simple solutions...until you are put in the situation of having to lead/implement them and confronted by the realities of law, policy, and resources.

I agree with this. Current local and federal laws make it very difficult to remove children from a regular classroom. And usually the parent has to agree with the new placement as well [/quote]
