[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, he is trying to get rid of DEIA (A for accessibility). Hate the IEP process if you want, ask for reform, but getting rid of the DOE is not the answer unless you secretly want to resegregate school[/quote]

You mean put all the noisy kids in one room? Yes PLEASE! [/quote]
This is nasty and ableist. To begin with, having a disability is not one thing. It doesn’t mean someone is loud. It doesn’t mean they’re quiet. Further, having volunteered extensively through more than two decades of parenting, I can tell you that there are plenty of kids without disabilities who are loud and disruptive. And plenty of kids with disabilities who aren’t.

I will also say that I went to a very progressive elementary school that was early to mainstreaming; I think it was extremely beneficial to all of us. We learned inclusiveness, respect, and the inherent value of individuals. Our teachers didn’t have the language and tools that we have today but they had  fantastic insight,  commitment, and understanding that they were instilling us with values of decency and community. Regressing to a world where people with disabilities are hidden away and treated like criminals is barbaric and doesn’t benefit anyone. [/quote]
