Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 It must be the season for jerky school people. The principal at my older son's school informed me that iel would not be welcome there when he starts kindergarten in the fall. What he actually said was that we would have to put him in a school that has a full time nurse, he wouldn't expect his staff to take time away from their other duties, etc. I'm furious. How in this day and age can any school person not understand the concept of least restrictive placement, equal and free access to education, ADA, and I could go on. I am being advised to first talk to the special ed department and get him on an IEP. I know this helps the school system because there is money attached, but I was interested in the comment about the 504 being easier to enforce. Any suggestions are welcome. We can wait until next year, he won't be 5 until Sept 2. Cognitively he is ready, but I wonder if a little more emotional maturity would help in dealing with the jerks he is bound to run into. Have many of you delayed starting school for the emotional/logistic reasons?
