Special education and public funds.
yes I know it's a dry subject, but it's just another thing i have to think about now.
What to do when you know that your child is not getting all of his needs met in his current schooling enviornment? The push to "mainstream" all special education students 80% of the time is a blanket goal which doesn't work.
All children learn a bit differently, now add any type of Learning disability or special need, it compounds the issue.
Please explain to me how a school or institution can label a child learning disabled but not tell the most effective way to teach the child. Then decide that it's still good to mainstream them as long as they get extra help.
GREAT! now what about his social development, where are the helpers for that? who's helping him navigate the halls? You said his thought process is that of a child 4 to 5 years younger. It makes TOTAL sense to feed him to the high school wolves doesn't it?
And when it's mentioned that maybe a school with 2000 children isn't the best place for him. Why aren't there dozens of suggestions to place him in a place that is for special needs?
Public funds. The funds must move with my child. so the $5,000 a year they supposedly spend on him has to be put in such a way that it deemed justified.
Again great, who makes this determination?
The Board of Ed? well they are cutting teachers, bus staff and special education assistants, why would they want the money to move out of thier hands?
Wait two weeeks for a mere suggestion of what the school has come up with. Not a word, a sound, or a murmur.
But it's good to know they thinks I am raising a great kid....woo hoo!
I'm not sarcastic much....right.
