[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact:  more SN students now than ever before (why?[b] Covid? Other?[/b]  Dont know and don't care - the fact is there are more SN students in our schools now than before)

Fact: there aren't enough special educators left to serve all those students.  Many have burned out.  Teaching special ed online is beyond a nightmare.  The paperwork involved is overwhelming, and there isn't time built into the day to do it.

Fact:  there are many long-term subs teaching in special ed right now.  They are not equipped to handle the needs of their students[/quote]
As a parent who had a child get an IEP post COVID.  What COVID provided was insight into all the lies that school was telling us regarding our child.
Seeing what the actual day looked like - how much my child was behind.   They kept telling us that he was in the range - he was no where near grade level and we were able to identify the problem and get the services that the school probably should have been providing before COVID.[/quote]

Didn’t you have an idea with standardized testing?  [/quote]

Someone asked me this once and the answer is no. Standardized tests do not test for LDs or ADHD, etc. And 2E kids can do really well on those easy tests.[/quote]
