I am talking about behavioral issues and this is not about segregation it is about fairness for all including the children who have behavioral issues. Leave them in the classroom and they disrupt the other children AND they don't receive the proper positive attention they deserve. Good lord we need to have some common sense. Portillo may have been certified in special ed but that does not mean that this was a special ed setting and there lies the problem. As I said before, what she did was wrong. I still stand behind my original thoughts on the matter that this is a larger problem. Disruption is a problem, no matter what the reason and there should be standards set and if the child cannot meet them then they should have to work on those skills in another setting before returning to the classroom.
