I am not anti education, but I am anti educator in many circumstances.

Well I kinda gathered as much.

My wife was a special ed teacher. One of her students was integrated into the regular classroom where he really did not have a clue. She had to confront a teacher that was adamant that the student was "going to do her work". Sadly, I do not believe this is a isolated situation. I think many teachers become too focused on making themselves feel important and less concerned about the students actual learning.

It's called inclusion and it's mandated. A parent can "sign away" any "rights" they're givein in an IEP though.

It's fricked up when we tell "Regular ed" teachers they have to teach "Sp Ed" kids when they're not certified/trained to do so but that's a system problem, not teacher.

That said, as rediculous as it sounds, I've seen some Sp Ed kids have a lot of success in a regular ed classroom. So what gives? Don't ask me. It's something hard about measuring teacher effectiveness when we don't have a consistent product at the end of an assembly line.
