Did your parents have to sign the papers making you eligible for special ed? Here's some personal advice. Never, never, never, never, never, never let the school test your kids. Once the "experts" label them, you stand to lose all parental decision-making ability over your child's education.

Once the "experts" label them, you stand to lose all parental decision-making ability over your child's education. Not really. I've had more than one student who was failing, was tested for special ed, and the testing showed the child to be mentally retarded, but the parents refused to allow the student to be placed in special ed.
The children continued to fail, however. :-(

YOu are right, I know from much experience. That is why I have 100% Control over my kid's education. I homeschool for this very reason.
