I thought the same thing Margaret when I skimed over the info. But since I haven't been involved with schools for years I thought maybe it was just my old thinking. But then said If they don't have to " teach " your child, then they won't. This brought back some old memories when we wrote a letter to the director of spec ed for many years ago my husband Andy said, " If the student hasn't learned the teacher hasn't taught. " Thinking changed and had many good teachers. We just have to be on top of everything and question as things come up. You all know more about how things are in the schools now than me.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 I am wary of the NCLB act because I believe it contains an agenda to get rid of public schools. I do not beleive it contains a plan to improve public schools Some parents may rejoice but however we have started to see some of the problems the charter school have and I do not believe it will the paradise for special ed or regular ed for that matter. On the web site for IEP and special ed there was a discussion about a week ago of NCLB with Ron Paige. He could not answer or very deftly side stepped critical issues parents, teachers, and administrators were raising about those very issues. So be careful want you wish for we may in fact get it.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Sometimes throwing money at a problem is not the issue. Using resources wisely is. I agree that NCLB seemes to leave many behind but schools here anyway hide behind no $ to say they can't provide resources that are funded. When I inquired further when 1/2 our school budget was missing the #s seem to show the missing part was inflated administrated salary.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I totally believe this. Education is so political . I had no real idea until we got enmeshed in the system. We ahve a wonderful special needs coach, who not only reviews records and advises parents and staff on the needs fot eh child but she will show the county how to get the money from the feds for the services. If anyone is interested, I am sure I posted it before but her name is Dr. Crum, phd. She is a retired neuropsychologist and works remotely -- via teleconference or internet. She has been very well received by our school system. Of course, they love all the intials after her name and the factthat she can show them how to get the money allocated for different programs. Able2learn@... is her direct email address. Just tell her you are interested in her services in the subject line. She gets overloaded with emails at times.
