The district court said that the district had failed in making a sufficient effort in educating Rachel in a regular classroom. The district court weighed in favor of placing her in a regular classroom because they felt as though she could benefit from it. Rachel had developed her social and communications skills as well as her self-confidence from placement in a regular class, while the District's evidence tended to show that Rachel was not learning from exposure to other children and that she was isolated from her classmates. The effect of Rachel's presence on the teacher and other children in the classroom weighed in favor of placing her in a regular classroom. The district court found that the District had not offered any persuasive or credible evidence to support their claim that educating Rachel in a regular classroom with appropriate services would be considerably more expensive than educating her in the District's proposed setting. .

I am in favor of the Petitioner in the name of Rebecca Friedrichs who supports the idea of overturning the precedent Abood v. Detroit Board Education where the Supreme Court ruled that public agency shop arrangements are constitutional. Public-sector agency shop arrangements aren’t completely incorrect in regards to the subject of having the right to represent since they do have the “legal duty to represent all workers” (“Supreme Court takes case on ‘fair share’ union fees,” 2015).

Detroit Board Education) yet regarding their actions, it doesn’t mean that the ruling in Abood v. Detroit Board Education should’nt be overturned especially considering unions require nonmembers to pay “their fair share of fees” for bargaining costs despite the
