Detroit News Online, covered a story involving a teenage student with very unfortunate mental instabilities. The student, a young man, 17, suffers from more than a few psychological disorders, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, to name a few. Parents of the young man are fighting for special funding for their son, arguing that their attempts for school cooperation have fallen far from anything acceptable. The student has particular needs, considering his inability to sometimes control his rage or moods, such as little to no classmates. Private education is suggested to be in his best interest and if not possible, considerable accommodation and custom-made education is desired from his High School. However, the High School does not feel responsible financially for his special needs. His parents currently have pulled their son from the school because of the lack of the school's lack of effort in resolving the issue and collaboration.
Take a look at the article, by pasting the link in your browser. Should the public school system be responsible for the extra funding required for special cases, such as the one mentioned above? To what extent should the school be financially obligated, and the parents? Should the State return a portion of tax-funded public education money to the parents of this boy?
