...of education. To evaluate the scenario, laws and statues as well as similar court cases will be compared and used to determine proper action for and against the presented scenario. The scenario entails about a high school principal refusing to provide special education to a severely disabled tenth-grade student. The principal is very prominent as she worked as a special education teacher and an assistant principal in a wealthy school district. Based on the presented scenario, this evaluation will assess the possibility of ruling in court as well as give an opinion on the matter. Keywords: special education, principal, parent, disabilities, court Special Education for Student with Disabilities Debbie Young is a high school principal of esteem. Not only was she a special education teacher, but she was also an assistant principal of a wealthy school district in the South.

Johnathan is severely disabled with multiple disabilities that require constant care by a specialized nurse. His is mentally disabled, has a seizure disorder, and has quadriplegia.

...Teaching of Mill On Liberty is a theoretical exertion by English theorist John Stuart Mill, formerly envisioned as a petite article. The effort of work, printed in eighteen fifty-nine, relates Mill's ethical coordination of utilitarianism to humanity and the government. Mill endeavors to create principles for the correlation between power and freedom. He highlights the prominence of personality which he perceived as a precondition to the complex desires of the Utilitarianism. Additionally, Mill disapproved the miscalculations of historical challenges to protect independence wherever, for example, self-governing ideals ensued in the "cruelty of the majority". Amongst the values recognized in this effort are Mill's elementary freedoms of individuals,...

...Brown v Board of Education made it so that everyone has the right to the same opportunities in education regardless of their religion, race, sex or anything else. It made it so that everyone was equal in education. Parc v The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was a case that made it so that children from ages 6 to 21 that were considered mentally retarded were to be provided a free public education. Mills v Board of Education was another case that was where 18,000 children were out of school with behavioral problems, hyperactivity, epilepsy, mental retardation, and physical problems. Again in this case it was ruled that these students were to be provided adequate schooling. Section 504 of Public Law 93-112 says that people with disabilities cannot be excluded from any program solely because of their disability. They can only be excluded in the case that they have a learning disability that may prevent them from learning marching band formations even with accommodations, or if test scores are below the university admissions standards and indicative of likely failure. Public Law 94-142 is where it gives people ages 3 to 21 with a free and appropriate education for all children with disabilities, procedural safeguards to protect the rights of students and their parents, education in the lease restrictive environment, individualized educational programs, parental involvement in educational decisions related to their children with disabilities, and also fair, accurate, and nonbiased...

...Introduction Special education has brought out the best and the worst in our society. Special education is often viewed as unreliable, inflated and in some causes even discriminatory. It’s the manner in which students are referred to and then placed in special education. In the past 30 years special education has grown in numbers. According to NPR.org one in seven students, is classified as having a disability. That’s 63% more than when special education programs officially began in 1976. The concern is, what happened in those 3 decades to allow a generation of children to decline mentally and intellectually. There are 13 categories of special education under IDEA: autism, deaf-blindness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, mental retardation, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment,otherhealth impairment, specific learning disability, traumatic brain injury, speech language impairment and visual impairment including blindness (nichy.org). Two categories made substaintial gains. The number of students labeled with a specific learning disability tripled and the category of other health impairment quadrupled. These categories caused an increase of students placed in special education as a whole to an increase of 86%. Special education has many issues that may hinder or accentuate our present state of consequences. According to Kaufmann (1999), special education is characterized as: Special Education: Past Historically...

...Carli J. Riblett SPE-226 November 20, 2015 Mark Mendez Special Education and the Implications of Attitude, Litigation, and Legislation A person’s initial reaction when they see a child with special needs is typically compassion; however that is not and has not always been the case. For this very reason the federal and state governments have put into action certain laws to protect these children and their families. There is always room for improvement but it is a good start and has helped with providing education to fit the individual needs of these children. Attitudes are formed by a person’s experience or first impression of a situation or the particular environment they may be in. the human race holds certain expectations for how people should look and act because of these expectations we tend to surround ourselves with a group of people that have the same or similar view and expectations. When a child does things different or has a different appearance they tend to be excluded from the typical or popular groups. These children are different for many reasons most that are out of their control. Children that look, act, or communicate differently because of where they come from, because they have special needs, or even a language barrier are typically not accepted by the popular or dominate groups. Because of these differences and the fact that these children may not live up to the expectations of the general population it cause discomfort because the people are unaware...

Some progress was made in regards to how individuals with exceptionalities were treated; however, there was also a period of time where no progress was seen. In fact, instead of progress, for many years things stayed the same for individuals with disabilities, and then there was a decline. Throughout the years, themes developed which impacted the progression...

...Special Education is a programed that is designed for those students who are physically, socially/emotionally, or mentally delayed. A developmental delay signify an aspect of a child’s overall development, which places them behind their peers. Because of these needs a student’s need cannot be met in a traditional classroom, so Special Education programs offers content that fit the needs of the child. Special education in its earliest form usually happened in the parent’s home, in a one on one situation. The reason for this was people with disabilities usually did not venture far from their homes. In the early part of our country most schools were one or two room school houses with usually only one teacher. This teacher was not trained and did not have the time to meet the needs of an individual with a disability. Because of this, parents kept the disabled child at home, either with no teaching or with a private tutor. The best example of this would be Anne Sullivan with Helen Keller. In this essay I will address the social implications of attitude, legislation, and litigation on the lives of students with disabilities. Attitudes Children with disabilities in the past have received unequal treatment not only in the public education system, but also in society. Prior to school, students with severe disabilities were put in an institution or kept home with family. From keeping the disabled at home, the next step was institutions. The primary purpose of these institutions was...

...including the introduction of compliance programs and managers, the addition of board-level ethics committees, the development of codes of conduct, the preparation and dissemination of values statements, the hiring of corporate social responsibility managers and training programs of all kinds. As the events of the past few years in the United States have demonstrated, these efforts, unfortunately, have not prevented certain U.S.-based corporations from engaging in unethical behaviors that lead to larger corporate scandals. This analysis will clearly demonstrate that General Mills is not one of those corrupt corporate entities. The pandemic of our current global economic discontent can be found in the continuing examples of questionable behavior not just by individual employees but also corporate executives. This malfeasance has given rise to critical questions of how corporate ethics efforts can be improved and can address the underlying causes of misconduct, as well as the growing demands for proactive, socially responsible, and sustainable business practices. This paper will discuss the efforts General Mills have gone through to remain the corporate model for ethical business practices while maintaining internal, self regulation to ensure they continue to earn the trust of the consumer. General Mills Background General Mills history started in 1866 when Cadwallader Wasburn created the first flour mill on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. After his father and...

...Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation Amy Jamison Grand Canyon University: SPE-226 April 6, 2016 Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation As time passes on we find that the learning ability of our children and their children have begun to advance in a very fast pace. When our generation was growing up, us as children, thought that we were more advanced than our parents when we could set the time on the VCR. As we look back on how we were educated compared to the children of todays society we can see that the education has changed dramatically throughout the years. Every year new laws are considered in the hope to make education better. Special education is no different, people attitudes and legislation along with litigation have changed though the years. History Students with special needs (disabilities) were looked on as animals in history. They did not conform to what the norm was so they were locked away in mental hospitals or institutions. “Large congregate living facilities for people with disabilities were subsumed under many different labels, such as institution, hospital, colony, prison, school, or asylum” (Hardman, 2013, pg. 9). These people were taken from their families and put in these places. Over time they considered sterilization and not allowing them to marry to keep them in isolation and extermination of children with disabilities (Hardman, 2013, Pg. 9). That was just in the Untied States. In other countries they were targeted and killed, Hitler had...

With the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Griffith (2015) explained that the federal government placed additional educational requirements on school districts regarding students with disabilities. Although the federal government provides some funding for these mandated services, McCann (2014) noted that state and local taxpayers cover the remaining cost to educate students with disabilities. McCann (2014) explained that communities and local districts must provide a free and appropriate public education...
