[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell you it is designed to break the backs of the entire FCPS SpEd apparatus, from administration to teachers. If OCR wanted to "help" students by doing this, I think they took the wrong route. [/quote]

This is my fear. At our IEP meeting I said I think they are going to burn out at the SPED teachers with this and I do not need a meeting. I said if they offer something for X issue (my child's academic issue), please feel free to email and we can communicate that way, but the SPED teachers work enough already.[/quote]

I’m a teacher. My department chair is a teacher and her husband is a sped teacher in FCPS. When this came out he spent 6 hours alone poring over the IEPs of kids he doesn’t even teach anymore to do all this shit. Been doing elementary sped for 10 years and this has pushed him to thinking it’s time to leave. Sped teachers cannot teach, manage a current caseload, AND go back and redo and provide compensatory services for kids they haven’t taught in 3 years. It’s inhumane. [/quote]

Six hours is really not THAT big of a burden.

I think how “difficult” this is for teachers is being overblown.  [/quote]

He did it in ONE night. That is not a one off effort. It’s a massive burden on already overloaded sped teachers and it will decimate sped in FCPS. [/quote]

One night of extra work (even if it’s 6 hours) will hardly “decimate” anyone, let alone an entire system.

Are you dense?  I just said it isn’t a one off. This will be hours and hours of additional work for kids not even on his caseload anymore. That was 6 hours, one time. It didn’t cover even a fraction of what he has to do to provide the compensatory services. You are only making yourself look like an idiot by acting as if this is not hardly any work at all for the sped teachers. It is a TON on top of their current caseloads and classes they have to teach for it and all has to be done on nights and weekends essentially because there’s already no time in the day for what’s on their plates. Sped teachers are SO overloaded that it’s almost baffling how you’re gonna pretend this isn’t a big deal to dump on their plates in addition [/quote]
