Yes, because they're designed to take advantage of economies of scale. That model breaks when dealing with outliers.

Also, there's the human element. In my DD's case, the educators all saw each other as trained and experienced experts in education and child development. When they looked across the table, they did not see two people with doctorate degrees in DD-ology. Had they viewed us as a qualified partner with unique information that they required to adequately serve DD, things would have been smoother.

In their defense... much like we've all dealt with educators who are woefully unqualified to do the job, the schools have dealt with scores of parents who are woefully unqualified for theirs.
