This is schools' own bad behavior coming back to bite them. If they actually provided services and support kids need, they would be confident enough to speed placements as needed. But they drag their feet for everyone, and can't solve their own big problems forthrightly as a result. Do not blame IDEA![/quote]

No, it is not.  Schools drag their feet because of copious layers of red tape, federal law and directives from higher ups about limiting the number of sped referrals.  Even though it is illegal to try and cap sped numbers, EVERY school district does it.  No teacher likes it.  And schools wouldn't try and cap referrals if they were actually given the $$$ needed to support students.  The sole reason for this is money.  The law is unwieldy and creates a shit show.  The idea that only a tiny percentage of students have specials needs it complete and utter bullshit.  I'd wager that close to 10% of students have special needs in one form or another, but no one wants to pay 30K a year in property taxes on a 200K house to fund the support needed.  This funding issue falls squarely on the federal government and how it mismanages funds.  If we weren't spending so much $$$ on wars and defense we might actually have the money our own kids need.[/quote]
