[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would parents refuse evaluation?  Don't parents need and want help?  Or do thy not get help?  But still, dont' you want to know what is going on?  [/quote]

Do you want to admit that your child is a sociopath?

This was not a case of an IEP for learning difficulties.

I think a parent can refuse placement, but there must surely be some recourse on the part of the school. Could he school should have gone to court because the child was a danger? I think? they can do that.

But, who, in their right mind with a child like that would have a gun in the house?

I would love to know more about the parents.[/quote]

Yes schools can go "due process" where there is a legal proceeding about placement.  Most schools rarely go this route over fears of being sued and in my opinion as a veteran teacher, they are spineless.  For every story you hear about schools NOT giving services that are needed (and that does happen a lot) there's another story about a parent blindly refusing a service or placement that is needed.  I'm so over both these things happening.  [/quote]

I don’t disagree that this is what happens. But if schools *wanted* to fast-track severe behavioral issues, they absolutely could. It would just take resources to design procedures that align with parents’ procedural rights and to ensure they are followed. But it is absolutely possible. Schools just don’t want to devote those resources though. [/quote]

They could also respond to the parents that they agree that the kid doesn't need an evaluation for an IEP/504 and then expel them for behavioral reasons. [/quote]
