Responding to a message by Matt, to Jenine on ...
MS>Federal law (and that of some states) has made it almost impossible to 
MS>get disruptive students out of the classroom if they were 
MS>previously designated "emotionally handicapped" (psycho).  
MS>In New Jersey, a kid caught carrying a gun in school can't 
MS>be expelled if he's "emotionally handicapped", and here in 
MS>North Carolina a kid who's in the state's program for 
MS>"assaultive" (Willie M) kids is put into regular public 
MS>school classrooms without notifying the teacher or 
MS>principal of what he is.
I do believe, in renewing the funding for handicapped education this 
past spring, that Congress changed these restrictions.  I'll see what I 
can find...
