[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a special educator, it is near impossible to serve many of our students in the way that they need/should be served. All we get is pushback from above. The higher ups do not respect our opinions or facts. Kids are stuck in settings that are not most appropriate for them and there aren’t enough resources to support them. When you stand up for what is right, you get shot down. It’s exhausting and demoralizing and our kids deserve better.[/quote]

+1000 The special educators and general educators who work with students with disabilities see how dysfunctional the school system is. Clearly when the number of people who actually work with the student are outnumbered by school administrators and Central Office staff, who is left to speak up for the child?

Teachers are threatened if they say the child needs more or if they have concerns. It’s a soul sucking job to see a problem but your job is on the line if you speak the truth. Teachers are leaving because MCPS is taking away the reasons why many went into education and that was to teach kids. It’s near impossible to teach a child when the support and services a child needs is not available.

MCPS has greatly slid down a black hole of ignoring problems and passing students through who haven’t learned the curriculum.[/quote]
