No Joe, it ain't so....

Joe Kingsland, GA Reply » Report Abuse Judge it! #160 46 min ago Remember the parent that spoke about her child that had a problem dealing with groups? What was this child subjected to to make her this way? Maybe she needs a private school. Public schools are not for special needs No, Joe, actually, they are, by federal law. One thing I love about the typical TOPIX poster is that they never let not knowing what in the hell they're talking about slow them down.

    I am the parent who has the daughter you are refering to. I chose to not continue to banter with the obviously ignorant ones on topix. I did not get into the fact that it is federal law to help all students because i did not think it was worth the effort. I stand by my comment about the need for a graduation specialist. He helps all students achieve the goal of graduation. I was told today that the attendance percentage so far this year at CCHS is over 95% and the dropout rate is almost nonexistent. This says a lot about the quality program. Oh, and by the way I am a public figure.

    A wise decision.

    That's great news about CCHS!

    Would you happen to know what the graduation rate is?

    school boards are mandated by 94-142 a federal law which requires the educators to design a Indivual education program for all youngsters up to the age of 21. cost is not to be considered a factor.

    Yes, I know. And in the IEP must see to it that the child is educated in the least restrictive and most inclusive millieu possible, consistent with the child's needs and abilities.

Please keep it clean and reasonably civil. "Public figures" are fair game, consistent with the "actual malice" exception. I suggest you Google both terms before you go off half-cocked.
