Melody Musgrove is a Washington bureaucrat who did not leave when arne left. She has set about the purpose of disrupting school IEP teams… she actually uses words that arrogantly show her disrespect for local teachers and curriculum/psychologists who know the child best and build the IEP team. Some of this is all about money and they want to avoid paying for the resources necessary in an IEP . Another part of her ideology is mean-spirited and arrogant -- Massachusetts created an IEP process before I/D/E/A was initiated and Musgrove wants to come and disrupt the IEP teams because she doesn't like the teacher's attitudes? Sounds like an enormous projection of her own ego in her disrespect for the teachers and parents. M. Musgrove signs a lot of the letters going out to the states like the current acting pretend secretaries who are sending out the non-compliance letters on testing ; over 12 states have gotten these letters even after A. Duncan has left they are using the same policy (re-authorizing ESSA/ESEA did not change this arrogance towards state and local educators that is coming from the neo-liberals as well as the neo-conservatives in Washington. It is entrenched in the bureaucracy. In addition, we have technocrats that think the curriculum has to be delivered and measured by computer and IT specialists -- because nothing else in the academic program matters (other than the data bites they can cram into an algorithm).<br /><br />January 4, 2016 at 7:43 AM<br /><br />Please prove you're not a roboAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-17780342987743481642016-01-02T14:05:22.847-05:002016-01-02T14:05:22.847-05:00Dear Curmudgucation Friends: If only you all were...Dear Curmudgucation Friends: If only you all were in this room while I read this commentary article and expose' on the callous and hostile takeover of American lives starting at the womb. Lots of screaming, angst, stomping, well you get the picture of how I am feeling about it.<br /><br />At this point of my life and the sad and sorry turns of events that cause citizens to relinquish some of their rights as US Citizens, I am almost worried that I am treading into dangerous territory regarding my attitudes towards creeping government intrusion and control, and that is referenced as sedition. I had to look it up today because me and the US Government are having too many ideological conflicts. I can no longer ignore the blatant aggression against the everyday people who quietly dwell in this nation. The problem is how to address a wrong in the making.<br /><br />Government intrusion continues unabated and unchallenged by the masses who are governed. To address this madness of government takeover, WE, the People of the United States of America, who are both the government and the governed, must be present, aware of this crisis of creeping intrusion, educate/inform others, join together, organize a collective of dissent utilizing actions of voice-visuals-crowds-social media-action groups-mass media optics-signs-letters-emails-petitions-flood the reality of everyday life with the message and the invitation to take a stand and claim our inalienable rights as Citizens.<br /><br />What we are witnessing is the US Governmental bureaucracy attempting to define and measure what is success, is standard, normal, acceptable, and is demanded of every soul within US borders without responsibility for the precipitating factors that challenge individuals and are factors toward life failures. To add insult to injury, they infer that this is all measurable. Wonder what earth shattering solution these governmental and corporate elites will pull out of their bag of tricks to amaze, shock, amuse, and delude the unwary public. I guess, stay tuned!Star Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07562140545807507843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-39328361720913895942016-01-01T15:12:59.419-05:002016-01-01T15:12:59.419-05:00Has anyone with true clout notified national and s...Has anyone with true clout notified national and state senators and legislators about this proposition?
