As I work in the public school systems more and more, I'm realizing how truly disordered and disorganized it is. While earning my degree in elementary education, I was never taught much about the IEP process, special education law, or how to deal with incomptant adminstration. However, I'm quickly learning, despite the fact that its really putting a toll on me. I've had to deal with so many different parents, staff members and students that just discourage me beyond belief. I'm trying to service students who truly need assistance, but I'm hung up on the students who have been approved for special ed trying to get them off my caseload. I've been working at this school for at least two months and I've yet to see all the kids on my caseload as they should be seen. The reason being I have meetings and testing and more meetings to attend to try to persuade the necessary audience that these students should not be receiving services.
Today I have 6 meetings from 7:55 to 2:30. This gives me roughly an hour or so to try to see some students. I realize that I intended this blog to be more about pending issues and social commentary. However, I had to put a personal input on this blog since I'm so greatly affected by it. I'm pretty sure I'll never work in the schools again, unless it is a special circumstance.
