There is a core group of special needs kids in his grade, which helps for critical mass...they can justify a teacher to help a group of them in middle school. But believe me, I know we are lucky and I don't take it for granted. Some of the stories I hear make my stomach churn. I know that if he weren't in this district and didn't have educated parents who strongly advocate for him, his story would be very different. <br /><br />So glad you sent that postcard. I agree 100%.

School financing is such a serious problem - the schools that need the most resources usualy don't get them. <br /><br />In related news, yesterday I wrote a nice postcard to Betsy DeVos reminding her that the DOE's purpose is to help children who need it most - special ed, Title I, etc. - and she best not forget it.
