...there we stood in the doorway We heard the mission bell and we were thinking to ourselves "This could be heaven or this could be hell" Mirrors on the ceiling The pink champagne on ice. And she said: "We are all just prisoners here of our own device." (Eagles)

It's Not Just Me - A Special Christmas Song - Why Do Parents Feel This Way About The System?

I know there are a few within the public special education system that will continue to first blame the student and then blame the parent. I even live in a county that is "on Santa's naughty list" for labeling kids in need of specialized education, sending them off to a more restrictive environment in a special education center, and then, just to prove that the kids are too far gone to benefit from those professionally written IEP's that are designed to meet the individual needs of each child, have the kids arrested.

I don't make this stuff up. Read the arrest complaint.


And the good special education teachers are in the same boat as the kids and the parents.

Here is a link to a yuletide song, probably written by a parent who lives in a county that has a good PR program going:
