True. Parents of sped and/or crazy kids somehow have gained the high ground at public schools and have no problem in saying regular kids are insensitive or amoral for not supporting their kids who shouldn't be in the same classes with them. Not ironic how many privates don't seem to have this issue.

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.

There was an entire post, not too long ago on this issue. People came out in droves to support all kids in a gen ed classroom.

No there wasn’t.

I don't think it was here. It was on AEM.

LOL. You don’t get real opinions on AEM. Not when you know WP is going to yell at you. Inclusion at all costs!

Reel in that anger, bro.

Not pp, but surely you can do better. What a lame response to something that’s true (AEM doesn’t reflect actual opinions).

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

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.

Read the first post. Assume it costs nothing.

You’re such a humorless twat, OP. Very representative of the area.

My sibling & my spouse were in classes like this (both dyslexic). Trust me, it did NOT lead to “better educational outcomes” for the kids who just had an LD. Instead, kids in those classes were stigmatized by peers, and the adults at the school assumed they weren’t capable of much & certainly wouldn’t go to college. It was an awful system.

Sorry to hear that. DC in HS now, but did well in a parochial school that followed what most people on here would say was an ‘outdated’ reading program.

If APS were provided more funding, they’d just spend it on more cabinet positions anyway.

These type of answers assures me that DCUM is not a serious place.

No, seriously. Take a look at the past few budgets and see where the greatest increases in spending have been. Not a good look when begging for more.

Oh, so public education needs no further funding at all then? Also, just because you say something doesn’t make it true. (See,Donald Trump.)

I’m sure that administration would put much of additional monies into sped and supporting marginalized communities. At least I would strongly lobby for that.

As I said, you are unserious. Whataboutisms and false equivalency is all you have.
