[quote=Anonymous]Apologies as I’ve posted before.I’m stuck in a deep thought. I’m sure I’ll be roasted:

Is anyone tired of SN parent blame? Go to the DCUM school district forums and the finger  gets pointed at “those kids who don’t belong in mainstream classes.”  Have a question at an IEP meeting and it always seems to end with a version of “your kid isn’t a snowflake. It’s the parents fault.”

Sure, I guess my kids disabilities are technically “my fault.” It’s genetics and a rare medical condition.

We read article after article about teachers quitting, budget shortfalls, special Ed program cuts, rising rates of autism/adhd, pandemic learning loss. administrative scandals, overcrowding, crumbling school buildings, declining test scores, and monthly school shootings.

Obviously the current US education system is not sunshine and roses.

At what point will or can someone admit that the system is broken and that maybe it is part (a lot) of the problem?

Id be happy with an honest answer at an IEP meeting with a teacher or administrator saying “Yes. It is unfortunate that we can’t meet your child’s needs. I wish we could do better” instead of the “you get what you get and don’t get upset”’mantra.

Anyone else tired of one sided battles?
