In another state of the United State; Calley, a Republican and rumored candidate for governor, states in his letter, “61.5 percent of Michigan schools will not have to account for the performance of students with disabilities, because those schools enroll fewer than 30 students in special education. This is an unacceptable outcome that will negatively impact many of our most vulnerable students,”("Education Week”) The U.S government has to take care of all the schools who offer this option because there are several students who are not able to study because they don't give enough support for the children. This is unbelievable, some schools in Michigan are closing the special education option because there is a small amount of students who need assistance at school. There are also many organizations that support Special Ed, there ones who instead to acquire for more support, they close the doors for these

    Public Education across the United States has been under attack for several years. Parents want school districts, administrators and teachers to be accountable for their children’s education; however, they do not want to finance their schools.

    After reading the article ‘The Lessons of Classroom 506’ by Lisa Belkin, I realized the importance of inclusion in our society. After seeing the efforts put in by Thomas’ parents to create a classroom with suitable conditions for Thomas, I feel like it important to start including people at a younger age, and this starts by good education and teachings in school. Being able to include people with disabilities at a much younger age will help society think no different about these people. Therefore, I feel like the experiment Thomas’ parents tried did a good job of teaching people to cope with and support one another regardless of the condition an individual had. Another thing I found interesting was the role technology played in helping people…

These war-related disabilities let to the passage of the Vocational Rehabilitation act of 1920” (p. 4).

    I must admit I was intimidated by the readings for this week. However, once I started, I realized the readings complement the information in Literate Lives from my Literacy Foundations course, which makes it simpler to understand. Let’s look at some of the paraphrased facts from that course that correlates with this week (Flint, 2008) . Then, I will build upon that information to dive deeper into the issue of disproportionality.  The background, culture, and experiences teachers have differ from their students.…

    Texas manages to simultaneously rank among the best and worst in the nation when it comes to education, but only because it excels in some fields and fails in others. An unfortunate side effect of this is that some political leaders in Texas think that budget cuts and funding in regards to education can be used to manipulate their power and political campaigns in order to forward their agenda. Education is a window to future careers; children and young adults should have access to educational services and/or financial aid no matter what income threshold their families come from. According to the tape "House Support for Senate Budget Unlikely" funding for schools were the center of contention between the two houses because the House wants to…

    After watching an individual with disabilities fail a few times in a row, we start believing the notion that all kids with disabilities really can’t do it. Because of this, we sometimes even fail to give them a chance to prove themselves, and we put a “cap” on what we think they are capable of. We need to give all of our students a fair opportunity,…

    “Inequitable funding of U.S. public schools contributes significantly to the under achievement of our low-income and minority students. It’s something we have to fix if we are to progress as a society,” says Cynthia G. Brown who is the vice president of the education policy at the Center for American Progress. The Center for American Progress also reports that in areas with high poverty, which tend to be inner-city areas, school resources are limited. Due to this nationwide dilemma of unequal distribution of funds to schools, it allows for some students to have unjust learning opportunities. A proper fund allows for the necessary resources needed for a good education, not just an education that includes the bare minimum.…

    Response to Intervention: Tirzah Carroll Reinhardt University Special education is no longer the sole responsibility of a special needs educator. General education teachers are now finding their classrooms operating under the inclusion philosophy, which believes that all students, regardless of type or severity of their disability, have a right to receive instruction in a general classroom (Taylor, Smiley, & Richard, 2009). In fact, general education teachers are involved in the learning disability identification process long before these students ever receive an individualized education program (IEP). Schools are now implementing a systematic approach for monitoring student progress called the Response to…
