[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, our county seems to only spend money *creating* an IEP. They offer scant services, and don’t fulfill them. So maybe some restructuring will be good[/quote]

I kind of agree.  We already pay for outside tutoring/services since the ones provided through our IEP are laughable.  Not sure this is going to make much of a difference for us. [/quote]

This. For those worried about young people from low income families, the current system is terrible. I worked with these youngsters and the woke way that started maybe a decade or two ago was to decide it was racist to put so many young people in special education that were black, Latino, etc so instead they just promised the families services, but there was nothing legally binding because there was no IEP. So in a way this woke way of doing things gave privilege to white students because there wasn't the fear of having too many white kids with IEPs.

Also, the DoE has been a disaster for years. I had a friend who left her job there because she felt there was so much waste with funds.

Ideally I'd like to see all teachers get paid a lot more-special ed and regular. I think it would be easier to retain to good ones and release the ones who are not good at the job. Right now you cannot afford to let people go because there is a shortage. The STs I know will tell you they cannot do a decent job because of the way the schedule and caseload is and they are forming groups of kids with vastly different needs. If you get rid of all the waste, there would be more money to hire more STs. Perhaps the states can manage this better or maybe they can't. The current system is completely broken though and cannot last.[/quote]
