I’m a SPED teacher

As a teacher as well, I 100% agree.

I teach 8th grade math. When I have a student who tests at a 5th grade or lower level, I have to fight to get them math they can learn.

As someone who works in special education too
I concur

Reading and watching reports on U.S education here in the UK and it sounds crazy even from here !

A generation of children with no skills beyond TV and internet usage.

I had some friends who were in Special Education.
