[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP. It's infuriating. In my experience, teachers are super reluctant to give up their downtime. Following for thoughts, suggestions, support.[/quote] As a special ed teacher, I can tell you there's no downtime. What you are asking is that the teacher give up their one block of time they can use to meet with a colleague to plan interventions for students, observe a student in the lunch room to problem solve behavior, call a parent about an urgent concern, etc . . . The teacher has probably made a judgment that those things are of greater benefit to students than working on social skills outside of the natural environment where generalization is rare. I'm not saying that is, or isn't true. I don't know the kid in question, or the other kids whose needs they are balancing. But that's likely what the teacher is thinking. [/quote]
