Harvard ain’t playin’… Trump’s secretary of education, Linda Mahon, sent them a letter and they marked up all of the grammatical errors. 😆😆😆

Good.
Special Ed... Hope it goes back What it was intended to be ... Instead of a dumping ground For anyone who wasn't adding to statistics at that particular time... Who are causing behavior problems in Regular classroom..

wow, I didn't know that was happening, but not surprised. Education has changed to being unrecognizable compared to when I was a kid.
. How things have changed from from when I began teaching to now.. But it was going downhill my last fifteen years...

my sister told me the exact same thing. She tried going back into teaching after being away from it for about 10 or so but couldn't handle the lack of discipline and zero support from admin. Everybody passes and moves on to the next grade. Turning in homework assignments is now optional.
I will be thrilled to see teachers get their schools back and be able to teach again...

Not in public schools, at least in Louisiana anyway.

Something HAS to be done about grade inflation. Grades have become almost irrelevant.

I hope that the changes affect all states.... Someone who goes into teaching just wants to teach... They don't leave because of the kids.They leave because of the adults.

Exactly... there are just so many problems... When you hear about kids graduating from High school who can't read that's very possibly the truth.... Remember when attendance was actually mandatory? That kind of thing... smh...

My sister went back to teach at the middle school we went to. (Called Jr. High Sch. back then.)
Unfortunately she tried to teach the same way she did when we were there and when she taught at a private school in Baton Rouge.
Homework assignments for a grade, tests, attendance, etc. You know how the old rules were.
When we went there schools were segregated and it was all white. Anyway she said it was about 40% Mesican, 40% black and maybe 20% white and she tried to teach and discipline the same way we were.
The principle, who is a black female, called her in to her office and accused her of being rayciss.
She left the office, went home and never went back.
Can't blame her.
I did basically the same thing at an Alaska Native Clinic where I worked part-time after selling the practice.
 
Aside: Any parent that wants their kid to get a traditionally good education in Louisiana sends their kid to a private school.
there's probably three X's as many as there were in the old days. And they have lots of minorities.

Very understandable...After all, she went back to teach...not to babysit , move the kids out like cattle, and help the administration fudge numbers to get money the teachers never see...Which is why I mentioned that teachers just want their schools back...they go into teaching to teach... Our kids deserve so much better...
There shouldn't be any middle school, btw. Elementary should be K-6, Junior High 7-9, and HS 10-12...:)
