Don't accept that.

You have to fight.

Okay.

And you have the right to fight for that.

The school, the government says,

that every student should be given the education opportunity on which they can best learn.

And if that means that your school system has to pay for your child to go to a private school because they can't do it, then that's what they have to do.

Now, in Texas, we just put this new school choice program in, $500 million a year set aside.

And the first people that are eligible, it's tiered because you're going to run out of money in a state as big as Texas, are people with disabilities.

that can get up to $30,000 a year for private education so that the ones that specialize in that.

Now, you may have a public school that's really good at it.

And if so, I encourage you to stay with them, but stay on top of it.

You can't assume because everybody says they're good at it that your teacher is going to be good.

How many stories do we have to hear about school teachers abusing special needs children?

before that we can convince parents that you can never, ever, ever not be paying attention to that.

I know in Texas, you can even request that there be cameras in the room and what have you.

So what are some of the resources or anything else that you want to say about this, Lisa?

What type of resources do you have that maybe they could?

Well, the hard, you know, we're trying to put some of these in the show notes.

Sometimes when we say, I wish somebody would do this, that somebody has to be us.
