[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2019502, member: 4953"] IEP programs need to come under some strict scrutiny. Basically kids can be labeled as disabled for being mentally disturbed and they essentially become untouchable by discipline. These kids can cuss up a storm and threaten their school mates or teachers and legally cannot have disciplinary action taken against them. Most people are unaware of the program and how it works. It is not doing the kids in the program any favors for learning to adjust to the real world after HS. It just fuels the narcissistic, I can do whatever I want attitude that these kids have. It puts our kids in more danger by not quarantining their unacceptable behavior. These problems with the shootings do have a lot to do with mishandling of mental illness in this country. We need to confront mental illness head on and not just try and cover it up or write it off. Granted, I'm no psychologist. [/QUOTE]
