Look, let's make something very, very clear. The IDEA is the law. What you think is right or wrong sitting there in your home is irrelevant. If your child was affected in this way, you would naturally want the best possible care, not a supervised daycare for a 17 year old. These parents and children deserve the same respect. None of these children asked to be born with a disability.

I have been watching your responses. I believe you have a personal stake in allowing learning disabled to mix in with all the others. You claim they have the "right" to do so. Don't others have a right to the best education minus the disruptions and time consuming care required to accomodate the learning disabled?

I think MLMR has a good idea. A school where everyone is trained and focused on teaching the learning disabled is much better than forcing everyone who is "normal" to put up with the coincidental disruptions that are involved with the learning disabled and troubled.

Institutions are institutions whether they concentrate on the learning disabled or are open to everyone.

I understand it it the law. So is abortion on demand and various crazy environmental rulings. I dont agree with it. The fact that something called "best possible care" is on considered for someone who is at most, custodial care material, is a sin. I dont see that there is anything disrespectful about meeting a childs basic needs if the level of funcitoning is severe, profound or even low moderates.
