[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's an interesting take but I think it's a bit too simplistic. Or least one sided. Many teachers and parents at the Adams campus wanted him gone, many are not lawyers, many are from that demographic you mention, and definitely did not orchestrate a coup d'etat, but had terrible experience with him and thought him to be a terrible Principal who care zero about the kids and was dismissive of teachers and their needs. In fact, some were not even fans of the previous Principal but admitted this one was way worse.

Agree that Adams deserves attention, but I think Pineda used whatever existing tension was there to get teachers on his side, given that he had many against him, and for fair reasons.  My family, and other families I know, have gone to him to ask for help many times (at Adams) and he was very unhelpful and quite aggressive.  [/quote]

How many are "many"?  The few outspoken English dominant ones?  [b]What type of special accommodation you demanded for your special one that was not attended?[/b] [/quote]

Is this PP so ignorant that they believe legally mandated accommodations (like 504 and IEP accommodations) are somehow optional?   If so, they know nothing about education and should STFU. [/quote]

I'm not the original PP but surprisingly the major complain my sons have is precisely when they are mixed in classrooms with those getting these mandated accommodations... Clearly this is a "cost" they have to share given the multiple interruptions during class aggravated by the absence of extra personal to take care of these cases. We never complain btw  [/quote]

How exactly does some kids getting extra time on a test or being able to listen to an audiobook version of assigned reading disrupt your kid’s learning?[/quote]

I have a kid with accommodations. They are generally pulled out for testing.

That said, I know that some (not all, not even most) kids with accommodations have behavioral issues and disrupt classrooms and learning, which I think is what the poster is referring to.

If I understand correctly, bc of staffing issues, kids with IEPs are not getting the one on on minutes required.
