Buried in this article abt the 6yo #Virginia boy who shot his #teacher is this telling statement about the child's #SpEd "care plan". Clearly the school failed to provide #FAPE if they were requiring the parents to chaperone their child throughout the day. I'm not a fan of more restrictive environments for young #students, but if a #school doesn't have the resources to ensure a safe environment for all kids under their care, then a change should have been made. #edutooter

@Animystic The other point to keep in mind is that #FAPE and an #IEP do not guarantee that kids will learn and make progress in their #education in a #PublicSchool. #SCOTUS weighed in and said that schools are required to do more than just the minimum for kids with #SpecialNeeds but they still fail. There's no injustice in parents wanting their kids to learn after public schools have failed them.
