[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anyone thinks the sped situation is ok. I have 2 kids with special needs, but they are the quiet, non-disruptive type (dyslexia/ anxiety). So we definitely do a lot of things privately.

I also do my very best to take on anything possible to free up the teachers to be able to plan and support teaching.  I cannot count how many materials I have cut, laminated, color-coded. I have walked kids in the halls to specials, and I have volunteered in lunchrooms and playgrounds.

I know that not everyone can do these things. But there has to be a better way for schools to effectively leverage volunteers to take some of the non-teaching work off the shoulders of teachers. My retired parents are currently volunteering at our old parochial school as “homework helpers”. My dad swears the biggest value he brings is having sharpened pencils and telling the kids he is sure they can figure it out.

I don’t trust school admin or central office to add any value.

Our es would not allow parent volunteers.   Always made me wonder what they had to hide. [/quote]
