[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP obviously missed the article on the FRONT PAGE of the washington post last year.

Yes, public schools can have a policy - and if there are children with IEP's / developmental delays there are other rules.

Last year my child had a lot of accidents (maybe 2 a week at the beginning of the school year) and the school (not IT) was very supportive of working with us - but it was a case by case basis.[/quote]

No the PP did not miss the article.  Read it again carefully.  [i]"That's why she was suspended from her preschool. For a month."[/i] [url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01/29/AR2011012903854.html]The child was suspended, not expelled.[/url]  And, if I knew the parents? I would have suggested they contact their lawyers and let them talk about the likely forthcoming lawsuit.

(In this case the parent is advocating for the school to change its policy, to benefit other children.)

Public schools are for everyone, not just those who can use the potty.  They [i]cannot[/i] expel children for not being potty-trained.

For the record, this is why some schools opt not to bother with PS/3.  They are smart enough to know they're stuck with a problem that is highly likely to resolve itself by PK/4.
[/quote]  I don’t know if this applies to PS or PK, even at public schools.  There is not a right to attend PS – the “right” to attend public schools starts at kindergarten.  DC has a policy of providing PS to all residents, but not sure that it rises to the level of an entitlement to enroll.  [/quote]
