[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  [quote]  Public schools legally do not have the same ability to expel students that repeatedly exhibit disruptive behaviors. In the past these students could be sent to alternative schools however due to 'equity' they are now generally expected to remain with students who do not exhibit these behaviors.

Its not due to equity, thats just lip service. Its cheapness.

Interesting that PP assumes the only disruptive behaviors are from special needs kids. There are plenty of kids without any specific special need that disrupt classes with attention-getting behavior or disrespectful language.

Overall, parents need to do their part if they want schools to get better. Stop expecting teachers to do all the parenting. Teach your kids to respect teachers--this is learned at home. Stop assuming the teacher is in the wrong--it is often your kid. Stop putting travel, sports and ECs first--when you do this, you send a signal to your kids that academics are not important.

I don't think it's "interesting." I think a disproportionate amount of disruption comes from kids with IEPs. [/quote]
