In response to a recent letter, I have to agree 100 percent about the special education teachers in this area.
My son, Jess, was with special ed teachers from the time he was 15 months old until he graduated from high school in 2003.
If it wasn’t for the special care and genuine concern and teaching for my son, he would never have succeeded and graduated. He also had some wonderful regular education teachers too.

And do not disable, and encourage.
OVER STEPPING THEIR AUTHORITY
I may have already sent this (To the IDS 181 contact e-mail) but obviously your web site is of a tender nature. Once again I am tired of children coming home and dictating to us what their teachers have said. Point 1: My granddaughter needed $4... no notice as to when or why just she needed it, well I gave her the $4 on 1.6.12 and she didn't even need it until 1.16.12. Today she came home without her snow pants and other winter gear because the teacher told her she should keep a spare pair there. Who is this teacher that she would think I can afford 1 pair of snow pants let alone 2!!!!!. We had plans to make a sledding path down to a pond with my grandaughter and two grandsons tonight. Guess what the grandaughter has no snow pants because they ARE AT THE SCHOOL AT THE ADVICE OF A TEACHER WHO HAS WAY MORE MONEY THEN ME OBVIOUSLY. Do not send instructions home to parents via teachers. It undermines the parents authority and at the same time teachers, administrators and tax payers complain about the lack of parent involvment. Well based on what I have seen THOSE TEACHER/ADMINISTRATORS ARE not interested in our involvment.
