One More Isolated Incident - Getting Closer to My Area

Let's get it out in the open. Typical fight. Parents want kid in school with supports and services - District says no.

District spends money to fight case. Parent spends money to fight case.

Who wins even if they win court case.

Why dangle a carrot for parents to grab on to but keep pulling it away -Delay of services is Denial of Services. District personnel to judge:"Well, we never said no, we just haven't said yes"
(see procedural safeguards - Prior written notice)

Why tell a school system they have to educate a child when they don't want the kid because it cost's too much money plus it overwhelms the complete professional educational system except for the few who are trained and get it. NOTE: TRYING HARD and being trained are two separate issues.

Read comments at end of "Parents file federal complaint" below- other parents don't want "special ed" kids in their class room because they are disruptive - blah, blah, blah, as if "special ed" parents walk around with a big banner that says "HA HA my kid can act that way but yours can't. Take a "special ed" kid home with you for a week and see what it is like. We live with it - those who make those comments tolerate it for a very short time.


Let's take away the words "special ed" and then make a determination of which child is "entitled to what".

Just don't tell me that the school system is full of professionals that understand the law and follow it. Just tell me they understand the law and have well defined strategies to circumvent it.

Please read with comprehension.

Enjoy your stay whether you like it or not.
