[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 466385, member: 1233"] Oh, I am sorry, Buddy. I TOTALLY do not mean the teachers and specialists. You don't take those jobs unless you want to ehlp. But sometimes they get strong pressure from the administration to NOT mention things in reports and to NOT identify things because the admin says it doesn't impact education so it isn't appropriate. I know a LOT of teachers, etc.... who work in schools. My dad taught public school for almost 40 yrs before he retired and I spent a LOT of time at his schools, listening to his friends, etc..... I also have many other friends who work in schools and almost all of them have been upset over being pushed to limit evaluations or reports to keep info out of them. They are not in one or two school districts, but in quite a few, large and small, in several states. I also have seen a LOT of parents here get evaluations that don't address problems that are real because someone claims they don't have any impact on the child's education. THAT is what I am talking about. I did NOT mean to imply that those who are on the front lines workign with kids didn't want to help, although I have met some like that. But every job has some who are better at the job than others, so that is pretty normal, in my opinion. I am sorry. by the way, the time limit to do the testing is NOT set by the states. It is part of the federal IDEA law. Many schools try to say it is days that they are in school to stretch it out, but any halfway competent attorney would shred them if it went to court. Our local district got in some MAJOR trouble because the middle school sp ed teacher tried that and many other illegal things. [/QUOTE]
