The Public School In Action Or Are They Asleep?
According to a recent article by Harold Pierce, in The Bakersfield Californian/TNS on Feb 12, 2016, Earlier this year a school district in Bakersfield, teachers are already complaining about the failure of the new program to basically eliminate general education.
Sick Joke? This may be the last generation of Education. Special Ed in some classes is nothing but day care. To put gifted and average kids in the same level as special ed will increase bullying and boredom and therefore more crime. They won't stop there. It is already becoming a nightmare. If this continues, the teachers and police won't be able to handle it. The true special needs kids will be harmed and they will become fearful, lack of confidence and deepening, lack of abilities as they age. They will not grow, learn or mature. They will learn the bad things. This is a travesty and a disaster in wait. This will be a diseased community. It will spread if not repaired ASAP.
Who would want to live or raise kids in the Bakersfield community. They are encouraging violent behavior both in the students and in district employees. Merging special ed and mainstream ultimately will be hurting the job market, the housing market and increasing the jail market. Special needs kids that fall between the cracks or get setup will also land in jail.
The community needs intervention now. The school board can always relocate and be employed somewhere else meanwhile leaving the damage behind. Parents need to step up.
