[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ DC certainly doesn't believe that to be true, because they don't offer much by way of advanced instruction for advanced students.

If needs aren't being met then the law is a fraud and you might as well strike the word "appropriate" from it.[/quote]

FAPE only covers students that have IEPs.  It does not cover all students. [/quote]

Sad to think that schools only feel they have to give students an education that's appropriate to their level of development when they are forced to via an IEP.[/quote]

The education bill is set to be renewed.  Lobby your Congress critters to change the law to [b]include all students in FAPE.[/b] [/quote]

This really isn't needed.  All children in the US are entitled to a free education.  States are allowed to determine the minimum standard of education.  FAPE arose because children with disabilities were denied equal access to education because of those disabilities.  There is no need for FAPE to be extended to all students.  What class of students aren't getting a free education?[/quote]

You've missed the point.  FAPE is [F]ree and [A]ppropriate [P]ublic [E]ducation.    "Free" education isn't the issue.  APPROPRIATE education is the issue.  If schools aren't meeting needs appropriate to a student's developmental level (and many don't) then it's not an appropriate education.[/quote]
