[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's our area's way of "fully staffing" schools with folks who have no training. [/quote]

I give it 10 years until the majority of teachers come in alternatively. Nobody is majoring in it anymore. [/quote]
I recall being in high school and my teachers being former lawyers, corporate people, etc that just got tired and wanted to do something different. It's not necessarily bad.[/quote]

I think the teacher trainee formula works better in the high school setting. Most teacher trainees are going to special ed and elementary positions. [/quote]

I have always thought that special Ed should differentiate between kids with learning differences and kids with emotional/behavioral problems. Many teachers can handle the former, the latter, however is usually the cause for many teachers to pack up and quit the profession. [/quote]

It was like this at one time-there was a distinction-LD, ED, Autism, Non-Cat. Due to demanding parents who want inclusion and the shortage of SPED teachers-caseloads are heavy and have a mix of needs. I was at a school that thought it was ok to pile on to the two new SPED teachers they had. Both left after the first year and they were good:( They left due to an admin who had no clue and wanted no information about what was going on with SPED at their school. The students with learning disabilities were and are the ones that lost out due to the extreme behaviors on the SPED teachers caseloads. The shortage in SPED gets worse each year. Teachers need better work conditions, support, and respect. [/quote]
