This is another case of having too many societal issues at the same time that effect the school situation. It is NOT all the school's fault. Maybe they could have done more, but with dwindling tax dollars and rising costs for almost everything, school buildings that need major repairs, and all the other issues, I don't feel they are totally to blame.

And putting this through litigation only adds to their costs! Now they have to pay attorney fees etc, just to defend themselves. Whether they win the case or not, they lose time and money.

I agree that parents need to take some responsibility for their child's education, whether it be teaching them at home or putting them in another school.

Yes...there's been a failure to educate...but to blame a school district that is literally struggling to survive seems a little over the top to me. Doesn't the ACLU have anything better to do?
