[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t they move Gen Ed summer school online and prioritize special Ed being in person? This is discrimination. A Gen Ed teacher is going to be much more helpful than a random neighborhood college kid getting paid $19/hour by special Ed parents scrambling at the last minute to find a new plan. And it’s not just for retention of content but also routine and being in a school environment around peers. [/quote]

Few Gen Ed teachers are qualified or prepared to teach an SCB class. Additionally, they haven't been trained in MOIEP (online IEP system), aren't used to being the primary service providers for interventions/supports that are typically offered and required in ESY. Children in SCB often have goals in functional and critical life skills that require instruction gen ed teachers don't give. Not to mention the training to support augmentative communication devices, other assistive technology, and on and on. The fact that you think they could just walk into that position is a perfect example of how little parents often understand about the job of educators and the differences between what roles in education involve.
