[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special ed is going to bleed public schools dry until the Rs get their way and we all go to religious private schools.[/quote]

Maybe if public schools didn't treat special education like a leper colony and then waste big $$$ on lawyers to fight parents then they'd be less likely to have the feds breathing down their neck.[/quote]

The lawyers are cheaper than meeting an impossible federal mandate. Maybe if every UMC parent whose kid can't behave didn't rush out and get a diagnosis and an IEP the resources available could go to the kids who need them  [/quote]

What a lie. Most every parent I know has had this thrown at them and it is a disgusting sentiment. [/quote]

When Kennedy Krieger can make good money selling evaluations for 5k that most insurance won't touch, it's UMC parents making sure their kid can suck up as much resources as possible [/quote]

What an ignorant comment. Schools have no requirement to accept an outside diagnosis. Zip. Zero. Nada. Don't care how much a parent spent to get it. Also are you really suggesting that Kennedy Krieger sells phony evaluations? There are lots of good reasons to get a private diagnosis. Getting one to get a kid a phony evaluation in the hopes of getting something from the system is not one of them.[/quote]
