President of NEA Says Teachers Have to Adapt Curriculum for the “chronically ‘tarded"

[jwirr]

23. I am a social worker. In case you do not know it a child with

a disability automatically gets as PEP plan in order to help them fit into the classes they need. It is the law and with each child Medicaid or Medicare pays money for the extra services needed. They are called Title 1 etc. Mandated by the government that took the money out of state institutions and used it to get our kids into public schools.

And yes to get our children into the public school we had to sue the state for our tax money - which was being withheld for our own children and used for everyone else's children. We also had to scream and yell to even get them to recognize that our taxes were not being used to educate our children. We do not apologize for what we did to get our children included in public schools.
