Last year my son.... I couldn't get him to go to school for the last few months because he just couldn't cope with school. His rages were big, big, big. How can you get an 11 yr old to school with rages????
It started after Christmas vacation and got worse and worse, then by March/April he just shut down.
This is Sooooo stupid! We pay our taxes. We are not like people who just don't care about our kids not going to school, we do care, but there's things that get in the way. Like Disabilities!!!!
If we choose to homeschool, we still pay our taxes.
I talked to a cousin of mine tonite who's dd has Bi-polar. She went to school about 40 to 50 percent of the time, but their school system didn't attack them!
Ugh this just makes me so mad. I was sarb'd but wasn't arrested. I had doc's notes and everything.
That poor woman and her child. Thats horrible.
Sounds like the school and district is doing a huge CYA operation.
If they accept the Dr's word, that means they are accepting that they are the cause of the illness, therefore exposing themselves to a humongous lawsuit.

This boils my blood, too, and while it is not our story, we couldn't get those home services because of an illegal NYC mandate and chose to homeschool rather than deal with intolerable school we had to pull ds from or with a completely inappropriate public school program.
Our education system needs to be completely overhauled with our kids in mind. They are getting to be quite a large part of the school-age population and they have a right to be educated!!!
Here's hoping all goes well for them, and yes, that they have a very very good lawyer.
