[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Repeated violence in school should be considered a mental disability. [b]Those with disabilities should be taught in a different school.[/b] Yes, including those that require so much accommodation that you are literally giving them the answers because of their learning disability. Yes, including the kid that is in 5th grade but globally on a kindergarten level. Yes, including the kid that eats pencils in the back of the classroom because they have an oral fixation. Yes, including the kid with extreme autism that they can’t sit still or stop making random noises. It’s ridiculous. School is a zoo at this point. [b]We need to go back to when we had a class for high students. A class for on grade level and a class for special needs. But no, we have inclusion. Students that do not belong with the other population. [/b][/quote]

And this, folks, is why we have IDEA.[/quote]

So you’re okay with op’s dd getting beat up in class then?[/quote]

You think those are the only two options? Really?[/quote]

And your solution is . . . ?[/quote]

Schools provide educational supports in the gen ed environment and change placements if supports are not sufficient.[/quote]

Schools are struggling to staff teachers never mind additional support staff that get paid nothing to deal with all day nonsense.[/quote]

I know people applying for paraeducator jobs in MCPS. For at least the last year, they've been getting qualified applicants. But, the beginning of the year is a mess because they don't start the hiring process early enough to get them in when school starts.[/quote]

You are delusional. I work in the school system and there are not many applicants. There aren’t even warm bodies. Students that are required to have a dedicated aid (one on one) have not had any for two years straight. There is nothing that can be done if we do not have the people for it. Our school system went to a local college to recruit. There were only five education majors! 5! No one is signing up to get paid nothing, get spit on by parents and their kids, and a year long of stress and anxiety medication. Summers off do not equal up to the sh!t we have to go through.
