An autistic kid graduated in my daughter 6th grade class yesterday and the whole class got to learn about cognitive differences because of him.

my wife is currently changing school districts because the superintendent spend too much on a new school for the district on fancy shit (full length glass walls for the office, marble looking floors instead of plain tile, etc) and they have to move to a far less inclusive model in special ed due to lack of funding for aids. most special ed kids that are on the border of whether to push them into a regular ed class need a full time 1-on-1 aid. so no aids, no sp ed kids in classes with normal kids. the issues are two pronged too, normal kids dont find out about negative behaviors and how to deal with them and special ed kids dont learn normal behavior from normal peers.

she had a meeting telling them her concerns, they blew her off. she at the end of the meeting she said she's leaving the district. they had an emergency meeting the next day to try and meet her demands and keep her. she told them to pound sand just like i coached her, "I'm sorry, but i'll be leaving. I can help you with whatever you need to set up a successful program for next year." that polite ass turn of the knife.

A lot of those behaviors are way more severe than a boy wearing earrings lol.

righteous vengeance. at least in the eye of the beholder (me). yes, i like it more than almost anything. like that first puff after a long break off cigs, but the feeling lasts for days.

in my wife's case it was a general process of not being listened to for an entire year while they restructured her entire program, in an illegal fashion by covertly denying children with "only one issue" access to 4k so they wouldnt have to pay for it. then they refused to find a replacement for her "co teacher" who is universally hated by the entire district, due to financial reasons. by last week (the time of the meeting), administration had changed it so my wife has 12 students and the shit teacher had 1. 1 kid, for half a day. but they'd make the same amount.

i told her i didnt care if she went jobless for an entire semester. last straw identified.

Administration sounds super inept

You're probably right tho, the offer to negotiate in my experience is almost always deception

Shame for the kids really
