[quote=Anonymous][quote]It's too bad this thread became so nasty. I'm sorry you all took it so personally, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how nasty this thread turned out. Most of the threads on here seems to end up turning this way. Maybe my tone came across as entitled, and repeatedly asking on here came across as demanding. And, perhaps I contributed to that nastiness as I became testy, too, when the tone took a nasty turn. It could've been a better learning experience for some of us non SN parents, or at least for me. I, hope, at least it helped some other parents understand the whole issue better, too.

You did seem very demanding in your insistence of knowing why.  It became pretty evident you are clueless about IEP's.  I really don't mean to make this an offensive statement,  I didn't know how to spell IEP prior to my daughter needing one.  :blush:

You have to fight MCPS tooth and nail for every single accommodation, especially if it costs them any money.   Unless you have been through the process you have no clue as to how difficult and expensive it is.  I guarantee you that the parents had to provide in an enormous amount of proof that their child needed a special stop.  Most SN parents desperately want their kids to mainstream, so if the child could be with other children at a bus stop I am sure the parents would love that.  Every day with a SN child is a struggle, it never gets easier.

Imagine if you were the parent of the PP who wrote about her daughters panic attacks, now think about what it's like for that family to go on vacation or have to go to the grocery store, or an unplanned trip to the emergency room.

As a parent with a SN child I find your insistence of wanting to know why very insulting.  You were told it was policy and kept going back for an 'explanation', the only way to explain this situation beyond policy is to breach this families privacy, which really was your end game.

You do sound very entitled and also like a person who does not respect boundaries that are blatantly obvious to everyone else.  You need to use this as a learning moment to look inside yourself and really think about the lessons and examples your provide to your child.  [/quote]
