[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the heck is wrong with schools?! Is there some reason we can't open more for disciplinary issues? There's a lot of focus on special needs and also gifted kids, but what about the ones who are violent?[/quote]

What is wrong with the parents sending a kid not ready to be in a social environment without intensive supervision? Maybe schools establish  a base-level set of requirements around behavior….. fully potty trained, not aggressive towards others? Until parents reach that a child is in home-school or a private setting?

It seems unreasonable to demand that schools address this kind of behavior. The demand upon schools to raise children is just too much. [/quote]

Because as a society we've moved beyond warehousing people with disabilities.[/quote]

Stop bringing disabilities into this! We’re talking about kids who have had little to no discipline at home and don’t know how to behave. It is unfair to kids with disabilities to have them lumped in with this. DS’s friend with Down syndrome is the kindest, sweetest girl I’ve ever met. [/quote]

Others in this thread brought up IDEA and students with special needs, implying we should eliminate the obligation for public schools to provide appropriate education to students with disabilities.[/quote]

I think what people are saying is that schools are mixing up special needs and disciplinary issues and then saying IDEA makes you educate them. Separate the two. I absolutely agree that special needs students should be included if possible. I do not think violent students belong in regular schools. [/quote]
