Education: The myth of all students having FAPE rights respected

It is amazing how routine it is for school administrators to ignore the FAPE (Free and Appropriate Public Education) rights of dozens of reasonably well behaved children to accommodate one or two kids with severe behavior issues.

Those few then sabotage the learning opportunities of the rest, cause havoc, harm others, destroy school supplies and equipment, and create extra stress and workload for teachers.
Until the rights of ALL students are respected equally, the quality of education provided by the public K-12 education system will continue to deteriorate.
