Good thread....I grew up 45 minutes north of Rutgers Univ. Any questions post here.

Behind The Shortage Of Special Ed Teachers: Long Hours, Crushing Paperwork Revolving Door Of Teachers Costs Schools Billions Every Year

Yep. Sounds exactly like our situation. She gets slapped in the face all the time by students, and scissors/pens/pencils are thrown, kids throw things off her desk, run out of the room and then my wife has to chase them down. Then gets ripped by the admin for not letting the plan work. How the hell is the plan suppose to work when a students actions are completely unpredictable. Kids scream all the time. I mean I'm all for having special needs students be in the same building and all that, to be around their peers but at what point do we say enough is enough and send them off? I mean you send off normal students who have behavior issues...why is it that special needs students don't get sent somewhere? Maybe I'm just frustrated with all that has gone on, but my wife has the heart of an angel and it's dying. It's all about paperwork this and paperwork that, and no focus is ever even put on the kids. For God's sake they changed her schedule 4 times this year and it's not even Christmas break. She made some picture planners for her kids so that they knew in what time frame they could look at the picture and see that's what they had to do. Spent all weekend making like 6-7 of these things for separate kids. Gets to school Monday and the sped director and principal tell her that they are changing her schedule again, so she has to REMAKE all those planners that they told her to make and never end up using the original. I'm super bothered by everything special education at the moment, maybe its just the school, but good grief... Here's something teachers will do....are the students old enough to create these items with your wife's assistance in school as projects? It gives them ownership, control and are more likely to follow through when using them. When working with students with emotional disturbances, academics (Reading, Writing, Math, etc.) are not the priority. Sure your going to teach, but many things need to be in place before learning can take place. Search "Intervention Ziggurat" in google and view the images. While it was design for students with autism in mind the concepts work for all humans, literally, but obviously those students who have special needs can be quite sensitive to certian things. Thus, it's so unbelievable important to be sure all their needs are met climbing the pyramid before they are ready to learn and/or will have the highest chances of learning. Are there embedded breaks in their day? Are their frequent rewards and recognition withnessed in the classroom. When these and other things are consistent and prevalent in the behavior classroom, trust is more likely to be built. If a student in the classroom who has been in three foster homes in the plast 6 months, where they have been physically abused by another foster child in the house and then had issues with bug bites and had red marks on their face, and then constantly threatened they will be removed from the home by the "aunt" they were staying with ifthey don't behave well, the last thing they care about is learning 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication. They couldn't give two sh#ts about it unless you can develop a plan to help motivate them. Rewards can do that.

Agree 100%...in fact there are plenty that are not crazy and will look at this. Many employers in the private sector do this as well.

I mean you send off normal students who have behavior issues...why is it that special needs students don't get sent somewhere? It definitely is the same situation. There is one kid that my wife works with that is constantly a terror. My wife will message me and tell me, " I was called a motherf*cker today and bit " or " He threw a chair at me and tried stabbing me with a pencil today". These are the everyday things that my wife deals with. This kid is also allowed to be around his peers and he is no better with them. Here about a month ago, my wife was helping him do a project along with the other kids in his grade and he blew up. He tried stabbing my wife with scissors and started kicking her. My daughter, who is in the same grade witnessed this and got upset. They ended up calming the kid down and everyone went about their stuff. It became recess time and when they were out on the play ground, my daughter told this kid to quit being mean to her mom. The kid tackled my daughter, bit her on the arm and started choking her. The teacher got him pulled off but he had left bruises on her neck and she was bleeding from where he bit her. They took the kid and placed him in a room till his parents could come grab him. All of that took place on a Thursday. The kid was excused from school on Friday but allowed to come back Monday morning. My wife found out when she went in for work and the principle pulled her aside and let her know. She was really upset about it and let me know. I went to the school and had a nice talk with the principle and told him that I will be contacting the school board about it and I will take further actions if needed. How do you continue to let a kid come back to school that assaults teachers and other students? My point got across as the kid has since been removed from the school and is not allowed to return I'm curious if you are able to tell us what district you work for? If not, no worries. To hopefully answer some of your questions. Basically patterns of behavior with data has to be established before you can remove a students or make a change of placement. Strategies, poitive behavior plans, etc. need to be attempted. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) protects all students with special needs from simply being removed/moved without plenty of "reasons," due process, etc. Being called names is one thing, but physical aggression can usually move the process along quicker. What you describe is fairly serious. How long has this been going on? According to the data, how often will this type of aggression occur? When it does occur, what's the duration? What triggers the aggression? Questions like that need to asked and answered using data. If a change of placement is made without enough justification, the state can intervene, and if they find a pattern of faulty placements, the district can lose funding. That can be crushing. None of this, of course, justifies what happened to your daughter. I have a little girl as well and fear does creep into my head. I hope she is ok and and both of you can relax now that this student was removed. Hopefully he can get the help he needs as in most cases home life isn't "average" or "normal." Again, not an excuse for what happened to your daughter.

Watched it 3 times today

If it were 1993, would you care if Tommie Frazier didn't know about the 1971 team? the game of the century? I think with all the trophies and blogs and article on the team I suspect he knows more than he's leading on. Probably knows about them but sicking of talking about it or knows where the discussion will lead to. .... how a team he has led hasn't been as successful, then again, no one has.

Just an awesome review....thanks for taking the time to post.

We should be as close to full strength as we have been all year....Riley and his upset are due

how about play calling, game management, Newby, completion percentage, big plays with pierson el ect, penalties, finishing a game. But outside of that I pretty much agree with you #1 thing was execution

I'm not super up on the NFL. I watch sporadically. Watching Abdullah carry the ball for Lions right now, watched a quick highlight of Cincinnati who has Rex Burkhead and I think Helu is with the Redskins. Does NU have any other RB's in the league? Can any other college claim 3 or more backs on NFL rosters?

Say that again...according to this article several sources confirm. On the other hand I don't believe he committed a penalty today

What happens when Gangwish is ready to return from injury? Who starts? Freedom tied for fourth in sacks in the Big Ten

Did these runs just warm your gritty, tough guy hearts or what?

Sacks and tackles for loss

Agree...i think I stopped talking about Solich about 5 years after he was let go. No way around it.

Great show
