I'm very familiar with it. I'm a teacher. I've worked with the special little buggers and sat through plenty of IEP meetings. I'm not kidding when I say I love them; they have a special place in my heart. That doesn't change my mind, though.It's a special education problem. There is more mainstreaming than is sound policy. The opportunities of the average/normal nondisabled majority of children to learn have been compromised by placing severely troubled and cognitively handicapped children in their classrooms. I love those special education students; that is not the problem. They are pointed out as "special" for a reason, though, and until they are able to function at a reasonably normal level, they do not belong in the standard classroom. They were removed from their segregated classrooms because of poor teachers who did not expect the most of them. That is the teachers' fault, and our children should not be the victims of that.Um I have been sounding this gong for a few years now. These evacuation circumstances are not at ALL "rare" and it is NOT the problem of the "public schools". You could disband every single public school today and you would still have this problem. It's a SOCIETY problem.
You don't know shit about special education. Teachers do not solely make any determinations about placement of these students. .Those decisions are made by teachers, administrators, psychologists, the parents and even the students themselves. It is called an Individualized education Plan (IEP) for the non-educator know-nothings out there spouting bullshit! The parents have to sign off on it! our biggest struggle was getting them to show up for the meeting! They couldn't be bothered with Little Johnny's or Little Suzy's education
I'll bet you didn't know that placement in the least restrictive environment is a federal law.
I just categorically proved everything you said to be wrong, and you still cling to your ignorant opinion based on no facts at all. You are definitely a libtard!. You were not a special education teacher unless that somehow means that you worked your way up through special education classes to become a driving school teacher.
