Re: A teacher's perspective
You’re right. But few are this honest with parents. I keep saying it’s a smoke and mirrors act in your school and mine - special ed or not. Parents want their children to be successful in school. Teachers and schools really aren’t supposed to make all children successful - unless you’re teaching preschool.
If they wanted us to make all children successful, we’d all get more resources to accomplish it.
But few have the integrity to tell the parents this. But you did and that’s great.
Thanks for posting.
I’d love to read that and that’s a great website but you could tell us what chatboard this comment is on? I can’t get the address to work.
Thanks for the great website!
