[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends - if they have an iep? I’d tell them that most of the services are delivered by the general Ed teacher because inclusion spec Ed teachers are stretched too thin and we spend so much time on paperwork and not with kids. I’d also tell them no matter what they “advocate for” in the iep, it doesn’t actually happen during the school day due to limited resources and time so half the time we just agree to make you go away [/quote]

I’m a public school teacher who also has taught private.  When I read what the teacher wrote, they were communicating that it’s the system that we work under that can lead to IEP hours not being met, which is due to understaffing, which is due to budget, which is due to policy. Also, not to mention the lack of planning time.  Not meeting all the needs we all would want and aspire to is not due to people “failing” at their job. It’s the system in the US public school system that does not set up teachers for true success.
