The final seconds of a cross country meet when you are sprinting down the straight away, looking at the finish line, trying to beat just one more person, is one of the most mentally and physically exhausting moments I’ve ever encountered. In the Fall of 2014 things just clicked with our girls cross country team. Winning Bi-county, Conference, Sectional, and advancing to Regional and Semi-state, was unexpected to everyone around us.

In this case, Parent made clear that she did not intend to enroll K.W. in the public school system due to her preference that K.W. attend a private school. In reviewing the district court’s decision, the court erroneously determined that K.W. was not a parentally-placed private school student. This Court has been asked to establish that K.W. was a parentally-placed private school student as defined by 34 C.F.R. § 300.130.

On the other hand an issue with this bill is that it might make way for students to feel like they don’t have to be held accountable to missing school and that the punishment won’t be too harsh. It’s up to the parents and teachers to really communicate with the children and help them know that going to school is for their benefit and not as bad as it looks.
Reasoning: Court concluded that parents have a right to withdraw their child from a public school providing an inappropriate education under the meaning of IDEA and enroll them in a private school, as long as the private school provides an "appropriate" education. The Court further held that the specific requirements of the Act need not be met when a student is placed in a private school by his or her parents because the IDEA requirements were not intended to apply to parental placements.
