Of course we cannot prove that schools are dumping these kids because they bring down NCLB scores, but it sure looks like it to me. <BR/><BR/>One problem is that education in the US is never considered in the context of the individual. From NCLB on down the theory is that every student needs a "college prep" program taught the most traditional way. Any student who needs either a differing curriculum or a differing delivery system is abandoned.<BR/><BR/>A second problem is related - the general education program is inflexible and disconnected from student needs and so the only way students can get extra help - or different help - is to be "labelled," which overwhelms special education departments - who are then, as you say, blamed for systemic failures.irasocolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412837280249622430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268058133525072004.post-89710862038029264372008-04-09T07:47:00.000-07:002008-04-09T07:47:00.000-07:00Nice blog, not my subject, yet!Good add-on tips.It...Nice blog, not my subject, yet!<BR/>Good add-on tips.<BR/><BR/>It was Learning & Oregon which caught my eye -must go to thank Univ of Oregon for one particularly clear & simple lecture series on some fundamental physics, unfortunately taken off their web site but found tanks to "the wayback machine" web archive.<BR/><BR/>Cheers and wish you luck with your work<BR/><BR/>My approaches via:<BR/>http://conversations-on-innovations.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>& perhaps of more interest to your activity<BR/>http://no-holds-bard.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465549527688041257noreply@blogger.com
