[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]

You've clearly never dealt with the public schools as the parent of a kid with a disability. I begged. BEGGED to pull my kid out of mainstream school. Begged, pleaded, cried. Hired lawyers. 
They didn't pull her until AFTER she had hurt herself. She could have easily hurt someone else but she didn't, just by chance. [/quote]

Yes that is because you wanted her out of mainstream school in a private school which costs the district $$$. Of course they fought that. They aren’t going to push back on a parent who says “I don’t want my kid in self contained classroom no matter what the teacher or team says, I want them in Gen Ed like all the “normal” kids and I won’t sign the IEP with another placement.” And that’s why we end up in these types of situations. Parents who want more resources get stalled because it’s $$$. Parents who don’t want to actually go through the formal process of ensuring their kid gets the help the school can provide? Our hands are tied. They will not sign and we can’t do it without parental consent. [/quote]
