[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“chase rankings and fetishize test scores, support for neurodiverse kids will always be on the chopping block because they are not represented in places where decisions are being made” This isn’t an accurate statement. The problem is Special Education is expensive. Very expensive. And budgets have not and are not keeping pace. Yes FAPE may be law but we have to remember is not actually free. Districts have to balance spending more money for Special Education that may have a students in a class of 9 with a teacher and two para educators against classes with 25+ students. Education is a continuous investment into the future. But we live in a society that values profit.[/quote] MCPS spec Ed unit doesn’t have a money problem more than it has a culture problem - they are mean. Full stop. Colleague took autistic kid to small Maryland town way up north from MCPS and guess what - kid thrived. There’s plenty of money - maybe too much - on MCPS but kindness? It’s just not there. [/quote]
