[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who decided the parent didn't need to be sitting next to this kid on that day?  Hope that administrator who approved his attendace without them goes to jail TOO.  Seriously.  Kid never belonged there in the first place.  [/quote]

It was likely a perfect storm of factors. Just speculating, but here’s some possibilities:
He’s had 5 months of somewhat reasonable behavior while his parents supervised him in class. It seems safe to take the risk because that particular day, mom is feeling unwell and dad can’t take off work at such short notice because his boss has already warned him twice that his absences are a problem. If he goes to school unsupervised and gets into trouble, what’s the worse that could happen? He’s six after all. Mom would come pick him up. Meanwhile, she’ll take some DayQuil and nap until dismissal.

Again, this is just a possibility, but it’s a decision many of us should recognize that we might make under the same circumstances. [/quote]
Based on my experience it could also be that parents refuse a more restrictive placement because of the LaBeL and would rather go to extreme measures to keep them in gen Ed. [/quote]
