Alessa Giampaolo Keener<p>Buried in this article abt the 6yo <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Virginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Virginia</span></a> boy who shot his <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/teacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>teacher</span></a> is this telling statement about the child's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpEd</span></a> "care plan". Clearly the school failed to provide <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FAPE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FAPE</span></a> if they were requiring the parents to chaperone their child throughout the day. I'm not a fan of more restrictive environments for young <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>students</span></a>, but if a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> doesn't have the resources to ensure a safe environment for all kids under their care, then a change should have been made. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/edutooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edutooter</span></a><br><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/01/21/richneck-elementary-school-shooting-warnings-downplayed/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/20</span><span class="invisible">23/01/21/richneck-elementary-school-shooting-warnings-downplayed/</span></a></p>
Alessa Giampaolo Keener<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mindly.social/@Animystic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Animystic</span></a></span> The other point to keep in mind is that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FAPE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FAPE</span></a> and an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/IEP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IEP</span></a> do not guarantee that kids will learn and make progress in their <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> in a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PublicSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicSchool</span></a>. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> weighed in and said that schools are required to do more than just the minimum for kids with <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpecialNeeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpecialNeeds</span></a> but they still fail. There's no injustice in parents wanting their kids to learn after public schools have failed them.</p><p><a href="https://sites.ed.gov/idea/questions-and-answers-qa-on-u-s-supreme-court-case-decision-endrew-f-v-douglas-county-school-district-re-1/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sites.ed.gov/idea/questions-an</span><span class="invisible">d-answers-qa-on-u-s-supreme-court-case-decision-endrew-f-v-douglas-county-school-district-re-1/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EdPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EdPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/edutooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edutooter</span></a></p>
