abeka and the special needs child

by abeka????

Sep 11, 2009

I teach at a Christian school and we have recently allowed special needs students to enroll. Most of these students have mild to moderate disabilities (ADD/ADHD and learning disabilities).

sweet sue Things are getting bad, the PTA pres and VP may be withdrawing their kids, the 6th grade teacher will quit if the principal isn't gone soon. If those kids leave, we will have less than 100 students. We thought this might be our last year, but didn't know it would be a horrible year.

Anon Gee. You are between a rock and a hard place. If the people who oversee the school aren't supportive, telling them of the problems will give them an excuse to close the school. I am surprised the parents haven't complained to the pastor and the Diocese. Maybe they have.

I have had problems with principals twice during my career. Each time...See More

Substitutes

by gb/co

Sep 23, 2009

I work in a small private school and was wondering how others handle unexpected absences for teachers. We are not a religious school, so we do not have a "pool" to draw from. Just wondering how others do it, ours needs some improvement.
