Thank you!  Exactly what do you think we should do with this new knowledge?  Ask for less inclusion, divorce our SN kid for being a PITA...

You sound hateful and burnt out.  Maybe it's time for a new profession since you feel this way.[/quote]

I agree with this.  I was a teacher.  I had many inclusion students in my class.  I know how much red-tape and nonsense went on in the IEP process.  I always felt so incredibly badly for my students because I had 150 students and realistically could only dedicate so much time to each one...special needs and otherwise.  I tried incredibly hard to make sure Imwas enforcing things on IEP's.  Documentation itself took up a lot of time.  I was often the teacher (I taught in the upper grades) called in to give a realistic assessment as to whether the goals in the IEP's were fitting.  I gave my best, and the process still sucked.  Not because of the students at all though.  Most of the parents of my students were non-English speakers, and that made it doubly hard to have everyone on the same page.

I now have a child of my own with special needs.

If you ever get to the point in your teaching career where you are blaming the people and not the process, it's time to find a new profession.  You are burnt out and not doing anyone any service anymore.  Best wishes to you.[/quote]
