[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The supports required are not funded. We have poorly funded legal requirements that do not serve most students and teachers well.[/quote]

[b]So go to the school board and your county/state reps and tell them to increase funding [/b]and/or reprioritize current educational spending. PTAs and teachers unions regularly lobby for spending, but they've been historically quiet on special education.[/quote]

This is the way. PTAs and teachers unions have no power to change a federal law. The spending is one part of it. [b]The other part is that parents should not be allowed to override placement decisions if a student has been violent or threatened violence[/b]-- and what reasonably constitutes "violence" should not be up to police or even school boards to decide. It should be decided by the people who spend 35 hours per week with the student and are actually subjected to the behaviors.[/quote]

A major problem is schools that won't provide the necessary supports in the general classroom environment. I agree that students who pose a legitimate risk to others should be placed in a safe environment, but the basis for a restrictive placement can't be based on the school refusing to provide supports in the home school.
