Does anyone know if WA schools are obligated to provide educational assistants to [View all]

special educations students while they are in a mainstreamed general education classroom? My son is having a very hard time and doesn't have any educational assistants in any of his general education classrooms. I'm already so frustrated. This is just yet another disappointment. I'm starting to wonder if my son will graduate because he never gets the help he needs. Or maybe he will graduate. Maybe they will just push him through and pass him even though he doesn't really understand the material. That is what they did in his math class all through middle school. God, I hate this.
