Children with learning exceptionalities deserve better treatment in our society. Sometimes, they are looked down upon, other times they are neglected in the classroom, but entirely too often they are kicked aside because they do not learn at the pace the teacher or instructor wants them to learn at. If some people can take an extra couple minutes …show more content…
This law is to ensure that all students are placed in their LEAST restrictive environment for learning, and requires schools to have free and appropriate public education to students with disabilities (Pazey&Cole, 2013.). The passing of this law was to better the education of these learners and not allow them to be singled out. The students should be placed by their ABILITIES not their disabilities. (Wentz, 2012.)

Those who want the laws passed to help are passionate about the subject, the teachers that fight and fight to see these students excel are passionate, and the parents and siblings of children with disabilities are passionate in seeing what is best for the child. All people are equal, and need to be given a chance. There is no better time than the present to help give these children a chance at chasing a
