If teachers are making recommendations for testing and/or diagnosis, they they should be fired, end of story.

AND I do not appreciate the snide tone and comments from you. As a matter of fact, I DID attend every single special education planning meeting over the last year, as a requirement of my job. And in those meetings, we do not make new decisions, we read the regulations and interpret how to best implement them. IDEA was reauthorized last year and I was one of the teachers asked to look at the new regs and figure out how teachers could make these work.

I cannot and will not comment on your experience because I don't live your life. I would appreciate the same courtesy.

Special education planning sessions are not school board meetings or district strategic planning sessions- now, if you tell me you are employed full time as a Special ed teacher - and that you have attended every single special education planning session- and every board meeting and every strategic meeting- (public and closed)- then I will say you do not have a very good Union contract or you are being taken advantage of by your employees.

Before I go further-Are you aware of bounty funding?

Further- how about you save the lecture for your students..You can either discuss things with adults without having to try to control people- or you can't. My "tone" has nothing to do with it. This is not a tea party. Try sticking to the issue and keeping your feelings out of it.
