[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 248678, member: 1550"] Those rich school districts are getting the trimmings of a good education. Frankly, my daughter went to that rich school district and they were so focused on the straight A kids who were taking college courses in high school (with no help) that they had little interest in my daughter's Learning Disability (LD) problems (this is my older daughter). I think my younger kids are getting better services. But FAPE *does not mean* that the teachers are obligated to make every child work up to his maximum potential. Apparently they have gone to court on this and it has been ruled that this goal is impossible. So FAPE doesn't mean that the child will do absolutely as well as they possibly could. I understand it. There are many kids with special needs, not just my two. My autistic son is exceeding MY expectations, and I'm pleased. He is always on the honor roll, BUT he is a very hardworking, highly motivated kid who refuses to let his disailities affect his grades. Not all kids are as motivated and you can't force a child to do his best. Part of it falls on the child. We can't spoon feed every child who has a disability. We'd have no time for the other kids.
