[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We have worked a lot with DC and there has been much improvement since kinder.  But this is FIRST grade and immaturity should not come as a surprise.  There have been other children recently being pushed into special ed as part of what seems like a wave at the school.  But my intention was to ask a much broader question.  Allow me to rephrase:

Do you think a school should be able to use special education as a tool to segregate the well behaved from the ill behaved if there is no danger of physical harm?  Yes I understand the argument of affecting others. But special education was never intended as a tool to "help others".  Perhaps something else should be in place for that like a BMP? Thanks.[/quote]

Are they advocating for a change in placement or for special ed eligibility?

A BIP is a special ed tool.  If you want your child to have one that is enforceable, then you need to allow the eligibility process.

On the other hand, if your child has an IEP but no BIP, then yes they should start there before changing placement.  [/quote]
