[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for the people at Dept of Ed but I am not sure FCPS follows what they say. Having dealt with FCPS for years- I think they have been allowed to do whatever they want so not sure how this changes anything[/quote]I don’t think this will change much for wealthy states and districts, but people in poor, rural, or red states will be hit hard.

I have a friend who's daughter purposely chose to teach special ed in a poorer area. The big issue is the school system where she is tries to convince people of color it's discrimination to get an IEP because too many people of color are being identified. So too many students who need the protection of the IEP don't get it. She accommodates those students anyway because it's the right thing to do, but those students will not be impacted by these changes at all. Most of the people I know in sped as teachers and as parents find the Department of Ed pretty useless.

I agree with the person who said what teachers need most is more support. hopefully of things move to the state level there will be more efficiency in making sure class sizes are reasonable and teachers have help and resources. [/quote]
