No parent bashing. The parent has legitimate concerns about their child's safety in the classroom. First talk with teacher about concerns. Then talk with principal about concerns. Start there and see, what their response is. If you are still not satisfied, take it up the chain of command to head of schools, super, etc. Children should feel safe in classroom.[/quote]

I'm not "parent bashing;" otherwise I'd have made fun of her precious "snowflake."

FAPE is the law:  http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/edlite-FAPE504.html

Children should feel safe in the classroom, but it's not a legal requirement.  Allowing a kid access to an education is.[/quote]

A kid who behaves like this is not getting an education.[/quote]

This is an interesting point I think. The other posters who knew children like this in FCPS who were placed in the regular K classes despite their parents' disagreement with the placement was also interesting. I think it is assumed a lot that parents of kids with these problems are being selfish or clueless and are blamed for forcing their kid into an inappropriate class when really it seems like FCPS's goal is to save money by mainstreaming kids who are not ready for it.
