I guess I believe the parents. As I'm sure you know, parents of students with disabilities are some of the most involved and informed in the entire system. They need to be, given the hands they get dealt by many school systems who, before PL 94-142, didn't even want children with disabilities in their schools, let alone provide them with an education (and often still don't).<br /> <br /> --- Charlie Barone
