[QUOTE="judi, post: 346944, member: 148"] Martie - wonderful study and to-the-point presentation. Wish I lived closer to Chicago - lol! My son is almost 25 and the way our rural school system dealt with him was to expel him from regular school, expel him from alternative school. He finally ended up at day treatment for the last 6 months of his school foray. He did a total of 15 years of education and never got out of 9th grade! Had an IEP since 2nd grade. A few years ago, the Special Education folks gave me a call and asked if I wanted his record or should they shred them? I went and picked up this 6" folder on my precious son - what a waste! He is a smart, intelligent young man - went on to get his GED, did 14 hours at a community college and is working. The school system clearly fails many of us. [/QUOTE]
