KillHour posted:Am I missing something? Why would a child with autism so severe that they are unable to communicate ever be in 7th grade? Or even in a traditional school? Because public education is compulsory, poor communication skills don't automatically imply the student can't learn, grades are mostly arbitrary as it is when it comes to special needs, and most districts don't have the population, the money, or the staff to run an alternative school. Even if they did, the metrics the students are being judged against are what was just posted. In an ideal world, the speech therapist, special ed. instructor, or someone with some knowledge of this theoretical autistic student's capabilities would have them on an IEP and the regulations would allow them to set useful goals, instead of expecting all students, regardless of background and ability, to meet arbitrary objectives.
