[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the elephant in the room is that schools went too far with the inclusion model and it's becoming obvious that some kids really, really cannot function well in Gen Ed, even with a lot of extra supports.[/quote]

Lawmakers went too far. The idea of least restrictive environment should have been qualified with an emphatic "... provided that there is no negative impact on the other students" or similar.

Schools only do what they do because they know the law isn't on their side and they're afraid of getting sued.[/quote]

This is the issue. There used to be more self-contained classrooms with 8-12 special ed kids a teacher and aide. Sine kids just can't cope with a gen. ed. Classroom. Then add to that that kids are no longer restrained or picked up and carried outside a classroom. They are allowed to destroy a classroom while 24 other kids have to leave. Why are we allowing one kid to have that much power. It is scary for all the other kids, the teacher, AND the kid destroying the class. Once a kid realizes there us NO consequence for destroying a classroom, running out of class, hitting teachers and other students, the kid does whatever they want at school. The kid realizes there is nothing the school can do to punish him. Now add to that many schools won't suspend kids like this, it becomes a hopeless situation. Other kids start witnessing this and one or two start misbehaving too. Suspensions are great to force parents to control their kid. it gives everyone a needed break and other kids realize there is a consequence. [/quote]

Teacher here.  Agree with this 1000%.
