Unfortunately, they speak a different language -- nonsensical in many cases -- perhaps hoping that people will mistake their nonsense for intelligence. It has been this way for decades. I'm beginning to think that "educators" with advanced degrees take courses in Educational BS. Perhaps they should actually EDUCATE students in accordance with their individual needs and focus on academic issues rather spending so much time formulating these spiffy LOOKING graphics.

Glad ..."Stop being dyslexic Pat . . . ."<br /><br />Glad to see you use dyslexia as an example. It is the one learning disability that needs a much brighter spotlight. Virtually ignored by public schools yet the root of nearly 80% of all reading troubles. <br /><br />Peter, Consider doing a piece on dyslexia. Countless parents will be thankful. Administrators and even teachers are either in denial or simply ignorant of this issue.

BTW, the term "special" in special ed has nothing to do with the kids being "special." It is about kids needing "specialized" instruction. "Special" is just a shorthand term for "specialized."OTE adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259422705314063194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-72178775829796028492015-10-18T20:49:41.180-04:002015-10-18T20:49:41.180-04:00Eva Moskowitz is on the same page with Duncan. To...Eva Moskowitz is on the same page with Duncan. To both of them, there's no such thing as "special ed." In her opinion, that which the traditional school approach categorizes as "special ed," is nothing more than a lack of "maturity" as a result of "mama" failing to her her job. Those whose fail to "mature" --- or have the effects of poor parenting reversed --- under Eva's system are kicked out... err... "counseled out."<br /><br />This is from PAGE 5 of the 2010 NEW YORK MAGAZINE story on Eva and her schools:<br /><br />http://nymag.com/news/features/65614/index4.html<br />-------------------------------------------------<br />"At Harlem Success, disability is a dirty word. <br /><br />" 'I’m not a big believer in special ed,' (SUCCESS ACADEMY's instructional leader) Fucaloro says. For many children who arrive with individualized education programs, or IEPs, he goes on, the real issues are 'maturity and undoing what the parents allow the kids to do in the house—usually mama—and I reverse that right away.' <br /><br />"When remediation falls short, according to sources in and around the network, families are counseled out. 'Eva told us that "the school is not a social-service agency," ' says the Harlem Success teacher. 'That was an actual quote.'<br /><br />"In one case, says a teacher at P.S. 241, a set of twins started kindergarten at the co-located HSA 4 last fall. One of them proved difficult and was placed on a part-time schedule, 'so the mom took both of them out and put them in our school. She has since put the calm sister twin back in Harlem Success, but they wouldn’t take the boy back. We have the harder, troubled one; they have the easier one.'<br /><br />"Such triage is business as usual, says the former network staffer, when the schools are vexed by behavioral problems: 'They don’t provide the counseling these kids need.' If students are deemed bad 'fits' and their parents refuse to move them, the staffer says, the administration 'makes it a nightmare' with repeated suspensions and midday summonses. After a 5-year-old was suspended for two days for allegedly running out of the building, the child’s mother says the school began calling her every day 'saying he’s doing this, he’s doing that. Maybe they’re just trying to get rid of me and my child, but I’m not going to give them that satisfaction.' ”<br /><br />"At her school alone, the Harlem Success teacher says, at least half a dozen lower-grade children who were eligible for IEPs have been withdrawn this school year. If this account were to reflect a pattern, Moskowitz’s network would be effectively winnowing students before third grade, the year state testing begins. <br /><br />" 'The easiest and fastest way to improve your test scores,' observes a DoE principal in Brooklyn, 'is to get higher-performing students into your school.' And to get the lower-performing students out."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911854468188214107noreply@blogger.com
