Except it's not wrong. You have ignored the questions and you are a giant pussy.
It's not, it's an old man with lead poisoning
Bet away, but again, neither you nor I will be in a position to validate it.
Right and that's absolute bullshit.
I’ll wait for
Obviously they would benefit the most Fromm God’s touch in their Education….
Just in my school alone kids are separated throughout the day from peers so they can be taught in a small group setting. So yeah, they’re not in all day. Your overall post I agree with however. I’m at a really good public school but the staff is beyond ready for this group of 6th graders to be out. Very disrespectful to paras and classroom teachers. Constantly disrupting the learning environment.
That’s the other part. Sometimes you just have a tough batch in one particular grade…but you’re stuck with them for several years. Can make things look worse than they really are.
Janet Petersen is and always has been a kook.
She comes from the spend, spend, spend whatever you got club.
Look, if they wanted an education they should have been born normal.

Do you actually believe that bs?
If a handicapped child is capable of learning at the 5th grade level then by all means put them in 5th grade. However what is happening is they are placing children who can't talk, can't read, can't do anything but drool and scream for 40 minutes in the classrooms with kids that actually want to learn. You are robbing the kids who want to learn of an education when this happens. That is why my children when to a private school where the learning environment was such as to make them more successful in life, they all graduated both HS and college with honors.
Do you actually believe that this is a common occurrence?
And of course, the solution would be to put more resources into schools so that they have enough special Ed teachers and assistants; enough rooms; etc.
Supply and demand. Nobody wants a garbage education from lefty teacher union members who care more about their agenda and themselves than giving students a proper education.
Why can't they pay the full price then instead of getting a welfare check.
Do you call it a welfare check when it goes to public school instead? Be honest now..
Yep. This group has mostly very immature boys, and catty girls. The girls needed "friends' group" with the counselor starting in 1st grade.
It's the public option. And was created specifically for the public good. Everyone gets to use it etc etc. If I think the police in my community aren't good enough for me. And I want to hire a private security for my needs. Do you think I should get a welfare check from tax payers to subsidize my service fees or should I have to pay the full costs myself.
And with new laws that's no longer the case. Public schools have every advantage in drawing in money over private schools. They just need to properly implement a curriculum the parents agree with. If not, they can go broke. They're not entitled to tax dollars anymore. They've done this to themselves. I have minimal sympathy at this point.
Well then parents need to take the competitive chains off them. You're expecting them to give private education results. While having to educate kids that have no business being there. Kids that don't do work and are nothing but classroom time distractions. I sat in my daughters class. They were giving presentations. The teacher gave the option of students not going and taking a zero to move things along instead of class confrontation. I was surprised the number of kids that were allowed to take zeros and not feel a bit of guilt.
We can hardly make kids do anything they don't want to do these days. No. Support.
Not shocked.
Also, can we merge this into the thread about the GQP attempting to restrict the state auditor's office in Iowa? Nobody who crammed this bill through wants the public to know their tax dollars are being shamelessly stolen.
Sounds like that school has determined $2,300 is the amount they need to charge above the ESA to help weed out most of the low-income students?
Wonder how much time they had to spend to do a study to generate that price point. Of course tuition increases and why they are enacted are closed to the public. Imagine if school boards did something similar in their budget process.
Pretty sure they can legally refuse anyone for any reason. This is just a cash grab.
I've had classes like that where the moms were obsessed with their children hanging out with the "right" kids, wearing the "in" clothes, and getting invited to the "cool" parties. Then they're surprised that their kids aren't always kind to everyone.
Any school that accepts vouchers should have to accept any student who shows up with a voucher check from the state. And that check covers the full cost.
You would think.
I get that they can’t take everyone, though. But to me that’s one of the problems of this whole plan. You’re giving public money to private schools that don’t have the same obligations or accountability as public schools.
This is why so many Iowans are upset. This thing was crammed through with very limited public input, and the limited polling showed it to be well under 50 percent in popularity with the public.
No it's an accurate description of what normal students have to contend with every day.
Not really, private schools are there to actually educate children which the public schools don't. Most send their children to private schools to get them into a learning environment opening the doors to everyone will simply cause the private school to sink to the public schools level.
Your post is nonsense.
