[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the teacher who posted above about more therapeutic schools, more funding to help kids before they get their IEP, etc.  Yes, I'm very familiar with the current lack of staff and lack of funds.  I don't know how we'll fund it or how we'll find people to staff it.  Perhaps we need to start teachers who work in therapeutic schools at 150K and TA's for those schools at 75K.  I suspect that'd do it.  There's always money, it's our stupid government who spends on things they shouldn't and mandates things they don't fund too.

We are nearing a complete collapse of staffing in education for sure.  Teachers and staff are leaving in droves.  Student violence and aggression is a huge factor.  Whatever the solution is it should happen fast or we're not going to be able to keep schools open.  [/quote]

+1 from a parent and also a Special Ed teacher. We are seriously at a breaking point. Special Education is probably going to take the biggest hit, but you're crazy if you think it won't affect every other student and subject area. Private schools with the ability to pick and choose their student populations are having trouble keeping and retaining staff, too. If we can fund bullshit wars and give buckets in foreign aid to other countries, we can absolutely invest more in education. [/quote]
