[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FAPE is a floor, not a ceiling.  This has been litigated over and over.  The school doesn't have to be ideal, or even good.  [/quote]

+1. FAPE comes from IDEA.  People with disabilities are a "protected class" unlike people who have high IQs, are short, fat, underweight, Like to wear purple...[/quote]

Where in the law does it say FAPE can only be the floor?  And it's sad that we even need laws like IDEA in the first place.  Whatever happened to DOING THE RIGHT THING for kids?  If the system only cares about the lowest common denominator, and even needs laws to force it to meet the lowest common denominator (and then makes it so that it only applies to a small select subset of kids) then that system SUCKS and says WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT KIDS.

I'll come right out and say it:  Anyone who focuses on meeting FAPE as a function of the floor, anyone who doesn't think FAPE applies to ALL kids really doesn't care about kids and really has no business even being in the education business, IMHO.  [/quote]
