Once a child has an IEP, there are a lot of services that they are entitled to. If the parents believe that their children, who, in many cases I've been in, are in severe need of physical and mental health intervention, are being given those services by QUALIFIED individuals and not say, any random person who fits the qualification to be a substitute teacher and who promises to show up, they will keep their kids in the school and the school will continue to be given money.
The alternative is a lawsuit and the child being sent to a school where there are qualified individuals providing instruction and care rather than anyone who is willing to keep walking through the doors and we willing to play guessing games with no information about the student at all whilst simultaneously looking the other way from situations in which the students may be in actual physical danger.
Unfortunately, many of these parents also don't know that they have the right to sue if their children are still learning English and are bring threatened with legal disciplinary actions for speaking their native language whilst not in violation of any school policy. Reporting staff who abuse the rights of these students would require the state to care enough to replace them with qualified staff and that requires them to care about students who are low income and can't fight for their own rights.
The state doesn't give a shit about students of low income and look the other way. Parents are kept in the dark about students in higher income areas and we are bound by legal obligations we sign under the guise that it is to protect student privacy and good old fashioned diplomacy has a way of convincing parents that the truth is just "trash talk" against the school, many parents don't care and everyone else would rather blame Trump.
Student rights are violated on a regular basis, they are often vulnerable and have special needs that keep them from telling Mom and Dad that the school has no issue with this child with impulse control issues and a known violent streak whose parents refuse to medicate him or give him any sort of clinically approved treatment to kick their daughter into a cabinet and cut her face. No, that's an accident and people like me, who see that as a real issue, are overreacting. I could give you examples abound about staff looking the other way as students are given sub par care and even are harmed and put in physical danger because whatever.
I'm so glad I don't work there anymore. I spent the past few years fighting to make it an issue only to be silenced by the school system. They don't actually care. Just so long as their BMW payments are made.
I can't work for the education system anymore
