Can someone please tell me just what makes a teacher of special ed or any other degree qualified to diagnose a child with such a label? these are labels that our children will never escape once they have been given. My daughter started with a speech iep due to being tounge tied at birth.To what the shool now has decided is  boarderline mentally retarded. I am now having to fight with a school district that has gone as far as to lie and accuse me of behavior in which never happend. They have retaliated and refused my child an education under these lies and found the principal to be in danger without ever even giving me a chance to tell what really happend. WHY? Because I took a picture of the retaliation. Parents, what is it they are really hiding from us?
