[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who said burdened? What an ignorant awful thing to say about kids with disabilities.[/quote]

Burdened, yes, if they have a disproportionate share of behavior issues. What about kids without these issues in su h a  lassroom? Why don't all classes include all categories equally?[/quote]

This.....+1

I have been wondering this also🤔. [b]I think if all classes had inclusion then maybe there would be more opportunity for support in the classes. [/b]If there are disproportionate percentages in 2 to 1 classes pwr grade level then I can see how the teachers of those classes may get burn out faster. [/quote]

How on earth would that provide MORE support? [/quote]

MORE as in each class in the grade would get support. Why does only one class have to deal with behavior issues? By the way, it might not mean assigning a special person for behavior issues, but if all teachers in a grade get an equal number of behavior problem kids and get professional training on how to deal with them effectively, each teacher becomes better and each class has a lesser burden of behavioral disruptions.

With SPED I can see how they need a special teacher there, but once again I agree that SPED kids need to be spread out across classes. Other kids thereby get exposed to neurodiversity, develop understanding of their peers with sped needs, and teachers get experience.[b] Yes, this would probably require a sped support person in each class. Thus more funding[/b]. And this is a worthwhile cause to advocate for.

It would be interesting to see the statistics of what kind of classes teachers are fleeing: disproportionate concentration of behavior problems, inclusion clusters, other types of clusters. And if this means that policy towards class distribution should change and more funding would be needed for that to happen, so be it. Teaching has become an undesirable profession, and that is not good.[/quote]

I fully support raising taxes to fund more classroom teachers/special services teams.

VA residents are generally too cheap though to pay for it. [/quote]
