[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do people think this is a good plan for Students with SN or ELL? They are still receiving all of their special instruction virtually. At best they are getting babysitters. Babysitters who will be setting them up on iPads to receive there services.

Also WTU has been fighting DCPS for months because DCPS violated the law. That is literally what the PERB review showed. Even the council members during the Town Hall Friday expressed dismay at DCPS poor planning and lack of transparency around reopening schools. So blame DCPS for the delay not the people holding them accountable. Unions were created to protect people from unsafe working conditions. Sounds like they are doing their job.

So say you want your children out of your house, say you want things back to normal but don’t say this plan is good for students. And its not safe for anybody. 100’s of kids and teachers in one building. I dont think so. Not for me or my child with SN. [/quote]
Well, they get their main content live, but their supports virtually. But I see your point - its really hard to say how successful this could possibly be. [/quote]

So if SN parents don't value the live main content - give the gen ed kids their gen ed teachers back for virtual teaching, and bring in the specialists!! [/quote]

You clearly have no clue about how special education actually works ... the general Ed teacher is a key component, not just the specialized teachers. it would be better for all the staff to be back, but in person in a small class is 100% better than DL for most kids with IEPs. [/quote]

I wouldn't say the gen ed teacher is [b]the[/b] ket component but [b]one[/b] of them.

Without the sped teacher's differentiation to help them access and/or understand the lessons better the in person won't be nearly as strong. It's like sending a sped student without them getting services. They would be a sped student then.

And yes I do know they'll get service virtually but this is a HUGE flaw in this plan. Yes, things will be a bit better with a small class but gen ed teachers do not have the same level of differentiation skills some students need. Not to say this is every gen ed teacher but many.

So this is my worry that the ELL and Sped students will not get as much support as we might actually be thinking.[/quote]

sure, send the specialists back in person. Great. But all the SN parents I know are sending their kids back. [/quote]
