[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Schools can actually get in a lot of trouble for grouping children with IEPs together in a class. It is a very bad sign of a backwards school system if this happens. It is not ok and it should not happen. [/b]

If you are bothered by your child being in the same class as children with disabilities, move to a private school. Federal laws say that my kid is equal to yours and deserves the same education.

Well our school has been doing it forever and nothing has happened yet. Might want to check your source. [/quote]

They could be in violation of Least Restrictive Environment.  It depends on the mix and how they go about it.  It makes no sense to group children with unrelated special needs into the same class.   Plus, just because nothing has happened yet, does not mean what they are doing is in compliance with the Law.  I have had a child with an IEP for over ten years and every year there was at least one thing that was violating IDEA and FAPE.   Filling a lawsuit takes quite a few resources -time money and energy- at a time where parents need to spend that time, talent and treasure on the needs of their children.  Most parents try to get as much as they can and supplement the rest (or just live with it).  Schools count on that.   [/quote]

Wow, Madison High School in Vienna should be looked at, if this is the case.  The Madison Center, what a sad place.[/quote]
