[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet that if these weren't the first two goals in APS's strategic plan, teachers would be slightly less likely to mind the COL increase: ~ Disproportionally in suspension rates by race/ethnicity, students identified with a disability, and English Learners will be annually reduced and overall suspensions will not increase. (PO-SWB-1) ~ By 2024, at least 80% of students with disabilities will spend 80% or more of their school day in a general education setting. (PO-SWB-2) Teachers are not only underpaid, but general ed teachers also are responsible for meeting the needs of many special education kids. They have limited recourse for poor behavior since APS wants low suspension numbers. APS's retention strategy seems to be hoping teachers will keep going out of the goodness of their hearts. [/quote] A student can be 100% in a general Ed setting and still receive support and services from special Ed teachers. And I sincerely hope the people educating our children aren’t aiming for MORE suspensions of children with disabilities and minorities.[/quote] I would like to see more suspensions of minorities. Also kids with disabilities. Also whites. And girls. A little restoration of regular order is… in order. I’d also like them to light every single iPad in the county on fire. Textbooks, chalkboards, kids in detention. That’s how you save money AND raise kids proper. [/quote] Do you really think suspensions are going to fix the behavior problems? They don't. [/quote] DP. Maybe not fix but at least get those problems out of the classrooms where they are disruptive and sometimes dangerous to teachers and students who actually want to learn. [/quote]
