[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something needs to change. It’s just simply unacceptable that one child’s behavior can have such negative consequences on all of the others around them. I realize some parents are fighting for services, but as a society we need to come up with a better, quicker way. The pendulum has swung way too far on the side of favoring the disruptive child’s rights over everyone else’s (just like many things in our society, such as “emotional support animals”[/quote]

The options are to overturn existing legislation that guarantees equal access to a free and appropriate public education or to actually fund a free and appropriate public education for all students.  We are in the middle ground where FAPE is law but schools don't have the funds to provide FAPE so only the squeakiest wheels get it.  And meanwhile, the head of the Dept of Education doesn't even know what FAPE is...

More funding will not solve the issues. It’s a mitigation strategy, not a solution. Violent children should never be mainstreamed. Period.[/quote]

+1. We need to bring back institutionalization. Varying forms of it, but habitual violent students have no place in public schools.  [/quote]

Institutions cost far more than providing the resources at a public school or even paying for a private.  You realize most kids who have private placements do so because their parents sued the school system.  MCPS spends a fortune fighting families on attorney fees vs. getting these kids what they need.[/quote]
