  Case: Aggresive students
An aggressive student has been moved to your self-contain MOID classroom. You are familiar with the student and have taught this student previously in elementary school. The reputation of this student has been circulated and you are now receiving multiple calls from concerned parents who want to schedule a meeting to discuss a student that is not their own and who you cannot discuss with parents without breaking confidentiality laws. There is potential danger to the students peers but, you are sure with proper staff support and education you can keep everyone safe. Knowing that teachers do not choose who they are asked to teach and that EVERY student has the right to an education in the least restrictive environment, how will you convey this to concerned and angry parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
What you just said is exactly what I would tell the parent. Every student has a right to an education in the least restrictive environment so if a student is moved into your class you will teach them. Their child has the same rights as this other child. If they continue to push the issue I would recommend setting up a meeting with administration so that the parent feels heard, but you protect yourself from violating any confidentiality laws.

Comments: I disagree, you have to be careful about how you say things to parents, they are not in your shoes, and dont always understand.
