Department of Education

[Anonymous]

Parents must be called in to take any child who is unwell. Teachers cannot be your child’s personal babysitter when your child is not well.

But repeated violence that doesn’t get a child removed from mainstream environment is pretty new.

Exactly. The Dept of Education is 100% responsible for this travesty. Schools are for learning, not for getting traumatized every day by raging kids who are in charge.

Schools are NOT medical facilities.
Schools can NOT medically respond to children who require medical attention.

The Department of Education is forcing the failure of our public schools by allowing endless violence in the schools.

The parent of violent kids must take their child out to keep everyone else safe.

That’s how it used to be before the Dept of Education popped up.

Which medical facilities are those? Who funds them? Who staffs them?

We used to have special schools (and institutions) for those kids with significant behavioral and emotional needs. Now many of them are sitting in regular classrooms disrupting the learning process for others.

Those are the teachers who need to find a different field. Good riddance.

Children deserve an education, not radical indoctrination.

Long-time educator here. I've never belonged to a union or called in sick as a protest in my life; but I can promise you that when my general age group of women retires, there will be few replacements applying. Expectations for meeting all kids' needs will be too hard for not enough pay.

Many, many young people would love to join the teaching profession, including some in my own family. It’s the bureaucracy that’s keeping them away. Agree?

No, it's the lack of pay and lack of respect.

It's a lack of pay and the notion that it is woman's work. It's the push from parents to go into stem fields.

No young person is thinking about so-called bureaucracy

Women like women's work.

I tbink "women's work" should be valued more. For women who are smart, nurturing, and kind with strong organizational skills, careers in nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, psychology etc can be a perfect fit and extremely rewarding over a lifetime.

Yes. So are you proposing that we reopen those? And if so, who will fund them and staff them?

COMPLETE FAILURE.

Garbage in is garbage out. The data you rely on is faulty. The USA mandatorily educate and test every child. That is not true for almost every other country.

School systems can use the monies they have to open and operate them and pay teachers more to work in them..

Yes. Defund the unions, and fund separate facilities for violent kids.

School system funds are being cut everywhere and you all seem to support nuking the Department of Education which also provides funds to school systems. Where is this money coming from?

Whatever money a particular school system has, they can designate a portion for special schools, just like they used to do. The very sad, hard truth is that some kids will only acquire minimal skills.

Yes, and they already do that. But there is never enough money. Every student you’re complaining about should be in a situation with more support and more staffing - and that student’s parents and teachers are pushing for that 99% of the time - but they are told that there isn’t the money for a special school.

I do understand because I've worked in the special education field for a long time. There just aren't easy answers.

Yes, so is doping all the kids up with ritalin, constant cell phone use, and parents no longer disciplining their kids... that's if they even have two parents.
