So, we made it past this episode. We were more motivated to make sure that Chase was going to be in a safe place. We knew that there were other students in her class who would be threats to her, and we had to protect her from them.

She moved on to Lee High School the next year, and we avoided the dreaded two years at the freshman school. We loved (and still do) the teacher at Lee. She always had the best interests of the kids at heart. I so much respect and revere the job that she does. She has students to deal with and she has to deal with disabilities that she should not have to deal with. She deals with students, gets them into jobs, and she deals with students who should not be in her classroom. She should not have to deal with kids who have no business being in her classroom. It is a situation that she should not have to deal with. I don't know the solution, but the students who can not have any chance of being productive citizens should not be in her classroom. There should be some sort of support for her, and she should be trying to produce productive citizens in her classroom. She has the chance to get these students to be productive, and we should be giving her as much support as we possibly can. She has gotten Chase to graduation, and we should support her as much as we can.
