Reply #75: "a variety of levels"

[sandnsea]

means a variety of levels. I know exactly what it's like.

I did not say teachers should do this alone. I listed all the people you need to go talk to. You're in Alaska right? You ought to be able to build a coalition if your district isn't adequately addressing special needs kids. It affects NCLB scores too, doesn't it? My local district isn't as good as it should be either. A friend of ours is the parent of an autistic child and has been fighting for better education for him for years. She's very very wealthy too, so I don't even know what would happen with someone who had no sense of esteem to stand up to authorities.

There are so many bad things about conservatism, but it seems to me one of the worst is the reliance on punitiveness. No matter what the problem, a cop or a gun is the answer. It's just crazy.
