Reply #15: I agree, I had a daughter in special ed for years

[demigoddess]

some teachers I would have gladly murdered but there were others that worked hard to help me and my daughter.

As for regular school, I think we should extend school hours, and the school year should be longer. But i also believe we should hire more teachers to teach those longer hours. No reason the one teacher should spend every minute in the classroom. Why can't a teacher be supported by another teacher??

I see teenagers in high school getting out at 1 o'clock, they go home to an empty house. Some junior high teachers have given up on homework, they expect the students to do everything in class but then send them home at one or two pm.
