  Case: Everyone should be treated equal
Why are ESE children place in general education classes if they cannot be disciplined like the general education students. They fought for the right to be treated equal and not to be viewed as different, yet they can do bodily harm to others with no consequences. I watched a student physical destroy a classroom, spit on the teacher and kick another student in the face and all that happened is she was redirected and asked to calm down. A general education student does the same thing and gets three days suspension. Why are they not given the same consequences?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think you need to review this and look at this from a different angle. As a general education teacher, it is still your job to meet your students' needs and where your students are at their level. Students with 504 plans and IEPS and nonverbal ASD students are in gen ed. classes and as their teacher, it is your job to follow through on documentation and procedures. You must use all accommodations and modifications for the students. You must make it important to address behaviors with FBA and specialists at your school. Students are treated the same whether they are a gen ed. student in your classroom or an ESE student in your gen ed. classroom. The consequences should be the same across the board.
