[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is horrifying to think of a child who strangled a teacher at 5 and shot a teacher at 6 and what may lie in his future.

Other tiny children should never have been in the vicinity of someone so dangerous and their safety and that of the teacher(s) and staff should have been a paramount consideration. [/quote]

This is the problem.....children and teachers are not even a thought.[/quote]

+1 What about the right of those children to a free and appropriate education (FAPE)?[/quote]

You don’t want to hear this, but the rights of a student with a disability will always preclude the rights of students without. [/quote]

PP here. I've worked in the special education field for over 30 years, and I advocate for childrrn with special needs every day. As educators, we are doing something wrong when children this volatile are sitting in mainstreamed classes due to our decisions.[/quote]

I agree with you. Rarely is it the decision of the teachers though. It comes down to admin and parents being willing to hear our feedback and consider the best placement. The concept of LRE gets seriously abused by stakeholders who want full inclusion at any and all cost. [/quote]
