Most of the kids IN the system don’t really need it. My kids and their classmates know that most of the kids in special ed are just playing the system. When you have resource kids getting on the honor roll, it sure lends credibility to the accusations that the TAs are *helping* the kids in more ways than one.
All the kids at that school have nothing but contempt for the TA’s . The general opinion is that all they’re good for is helping kids cheat.
I’m betting you are wrong.
I know tons of people with kids who the public school system has failed, and their kids have real disabilities.
My daughter has a brain injury, and she has a severe speech disorder. She was having trouble with reading and writing, but the district said she was okay.
We put her in private school with a special pull-out for reading/writing. We lost all of her speech and occupational therapy services.
It’s just all very expensive, and I would just like my tax dollars back.
