Feb 12, 2011 - It is funny how the immediate solution to an educational issue is Special Education. Parents know your rights and don't allow your children to be place inappropriately because someone does not want to do his/her job.

Mar 2, 2011 - For whatever reason, school districts continue to get away with putting physically disabled students in special education classes. When will it stop? They need to stop shoving everyone who might have a hang nail into special education classes. It's entirely inappropriate, but they continue to get away with it! It's time that they be held accountable for providing the tools, supports and services that are necessary for students to thrive in general education courses.

Jun 1, 2011 - i laughed until i cried...cried because this painfully true conversation is what I have witnessed in my early yearls of teachng. That s*@t is what is going behind closed doors... a message to parents with children who could be targeted...stay involved in your child's education. If left op to the teache,r he very well could be "that kid"

Jun 23, 2011 - This makes me laugh until I cry every time I see it. Gen Ed teachers do not think It's funny. Why ever not?

Jul 7, 2011 - I've been to enough bad IEP meetings that this is funny like skipping the Novocaine at the dentist's office to fully experience being drilled.

BlackDoom77 Says:

Sep 17, 2011 - Special Education is bad. It's run like a prison. Just because a child as problems reading, writing, spelling etc doesn't mean they need Special Ed. After school programs or tutor can work to but not Special Ed.

Sep 23, 2011 - YOOOO!!! This is sooo real. As a former Special Eduction teacher, and an advocate for student and social justice- this clip characterizes the REALITY of our educational system which is problematic on so many levels, and leads to the overrepresentation of African American and Latino males in Special Ed. The power is in the hands of those it should not be in. We must progress!!!

Crayolapup Says:

May 27, 2012 - I feel bad for the kids in SPED. They don't learn very much. They also forget how to spell first grade words because of lack of practice. It's sad.I totally agree with this video though! True on so many levels.
