Another tidbit most people don't know: ESEP kids have a limited amount of days they can be in trouble. Most of them use that up in the first quarter or so of school, so they are allowed to bug the other kids for the entire rest of the year without consequence.
Lovely, right?
All a parent has to say is "the behavior is a manifestation of their disability" and they get off away with felonies. Crazy.
I wouldn't bitch if most disabilities were organic. Sadly, the kids with "real" organic disabilities are usually the kids that are in a resource room (separate room). It's the 80% that are fucked up because of bad parenting, drugs and alcohol, dysfunctional families, idiot parents who don't have books at home, ghetto rats that are raising thugs, etc that are mainstreamed into regular classrooms.
There is no end in sight. Once your kid hits middle school, keep a VERY close eye on them. Get them into as many advanced classes as you can. That will protect them.
This year, Georgia is thinking of putting the low kids in with the Venture kids. That is a tragedy.
