[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] This is the reason sped kids below a certain threshold should not be in the gen ed classroom at all. They would receive much better assistance from a program where every staff member would be certified sped and costs could be mitigated as services would be centralized. [/quote]
There was an entire post, not too long ago on this issue. People came out in droves to support [b]all kids in a gen ed classroom[/b].

No there wasn’t. [/quote]

Only morons would have supported this, which includes many school age parents these days. Remember all those parents who were shocked when their "smart" kids were wholly unprepared to learn independently when Covid hit? And they  blamed all the teachers (and not their own parenting) who then quit... tsk tsk[/quote]

Everyone is to blame for all of these kids being so far behind. Parents for not realizing that their 4th grader couldn’t read (HOW did they not know?! They NEVER had their kid read to them at home?!), but also teachers and other professionals for buying into the whole language crap.

Teacher training isn’t all that rigorous in this country, and for a while, many of them didn’t know HOW to teach reading. (Not their fault when their instructors pushed Lucy Calkins on them.) Elementary teachers’ ability to teach math is just as bad, if not worse. Look at requirements for a bachelor’s in elementary education. It’s just one step up from a degree in coloring.

That being said, the real issue is that even the BEST teacher out there can’t effectively teach a class of 28 students, half of them with ieps, a quarter of them English learners. They’re glorified babysitters at this point, doing their best to teach whatever little bit they can.[/quote]
