[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure I'll get majorly flamed for this, but the kids with severe behavior problems are the primary issue in the high FARMS school where I teach. I understand the least restrictive environment, but the rights of one student to learn shouldn't trump the rights of the other 20 something students in the classroom. Not to mention the abuse the staff have to endure on a daily basis. We're only told to "try more strategies" by admin and the "experts", and the parents tell us it's our problem to deal with during school hours.

These kids pretty much rob the other kids of their opportunities to learn. I don't blame them for being unable to tune out a kid laying on his back and kicking a metal desk during the whole group lesson, or be able to concentrate in class near a student who threatened to beat you up yesterday.

The admin in schools and central offices are deaf because they dont want to dispropotionally displine students from  certain groups.  I don't want to use the wotd “minority” because every race group is minority in MCPS.  What if MC residents ask BOE members, centeral office and school admins to spend  at least one day in a classroom, starting from poorest school.  They should know what teachers face every day.  The classroom visit is not for school evaluation so the principals dont hsve to bput a polished face to show the central office. [/quote]
