My daughter is a special ed teacher, she does one on one work with kids with ADHD or autism, she loves her work but they make it hard for her by pulling funding, she uses her own money to buy things to make teaching fun for them, she makes up games to keep them interested in math/English.
She'd appreciate that, she's losing faith, she was hired to help these kids do well in life, and now she feels like she's just baby sitting them so they dont cause trouble, she wants the best for them but needs the tools to do so, and they're taking the tools away slowly but surely.
I'm a classroom teacher with several special needs students and I'm in the same boat. "He's doing so well, he can manage with less support!" No, he's doing well BECAUSE he has that support, and if you take it away before he's ready, he'll stop doing well.
It's disgusting, they're literally our future and we should want them as prepared and as educated as we can get them, and pulling funding isnt the way to go, it's surreal the times we're living, all so a select few can have more $ they'll never be able to spend in their life time.
Even so, she's still there for the kids, and they appreciate her, so do their parents.
as a mom who had a disabled little girl, I appreciated and loved her teachers. And I also understand the teachers' frustrations and the cut backs they are making to the kids.
