[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why my well-behaved child with intellectual disability has not spent a day in public schools. Before school age I saw the public school kids and parents on the playgrounds. Their behavior is horrible.

I didn’t see how logically a teacher could teach kids like that and handle some students with IEP’s too. My neighbor was a SPED teacher in a self-contained classroom. She told me what really goes on there and how her job is extremely difficult.

The level of violence that goes on at school now is insane. I wouldn’t let my daughter have a play date at a home like that. God help me to keep affording to be a homeschool mom. I count my blessings. As long as we can afford it, I’m not going to send into that kind of environment daily. [/quote]

My phone butchered some of that. Anyway, I don’t think anyone is out of line for saying disruptive kids, SN or not, need to be in a different environment. It should be with the goal of returning them to mainstream after intervention.

The only parents I know are SN parents too. Some of their kids are the disruptive kids. They generally agree their child doesn’t belong in a mainstreamed class. It would be nice but it’s not practical. I’ve seen some fantastic SN’s only schools like St. Colette’s. They only take severe needs though. It seems like there is not a good place for all kids with needs. [/quote]
