[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I'm not saying that at all children with violent tendencies are not entitled to a public education. But no not 100% of them are and that why there are psychologists who make that determination.

They are in fact all entitled to a free and appropriate public education.  But whether they are too violent and aggressive to receive that education [b]in the context of a regular public school classroom with other students[/b] is a different question.  If a child inflicts serious bodily injury on someone at school, they can be placed in an "interim alternative educational setting" for up to 45 days.  20 U.S.C. 1415(k)(1)(G)(i)-(iii).  A permanent placement in an alternative setting requires notice, the right to a hearing etc.  [/quote]

I was referring to the bolded item above.  I understand they are entitled to a free public education, I did not say anything about the entitement of a free public education in general.  I am referring to them being in a public school with other children based on special needs and behaviors.  As you quoted there are alternate settings for the appropriate situation.  [/quote]
