[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 242498, member: 1631"] Ropefree, I do believe teachers, for the most part (I'm sure there are some that don't-have even met some) are on the side of the students, passionately so. They want to do what is best for each child. At the same time there is a law that, unfortunately, isn't supported with funds to carry out that law. As a teacher with 25 students in my room I have 7 special education students. Many have learning and emotional disabilities. I have a Special Education. teacher in the room some of the time and an aide most of the time. I'm doing what I can to help each child succeed. Is it enough? Probably not. Does that frustrate me? To no end but I also am able to keep peace with myself knowing I'm doing everything within my power to help my students. As teachers we advocate for more help in our classrooms. The bottom line is there isn't enough funds to accomplish everything the law requires. Also, even when provided with the supports not everyone will succeed. I have students who receive one on one who because of their emotional disability aren't in a place where they are able to learn to their academic ability. Still we keep trying. We wish we were perfect and that all of our children succeeded and showed great progress. We are delighted when we can point to progress made. Most of us really do care. Maybe where some of the fault lies is in a system that has a law they don't help to provide enough resources for what they require. [/QUOTE]
