I know that many special education students need "extra" attention,
but as theachers, that is our job (those of us who are studying to be
teachers also). The parents of these students demand the students get
more equipment because without this "special" equipment the students
do not get the type of education they need. Teachers teach a certain
way, but they also adapt to the needs of their students. This is one
more adaption that needs to be made.
Whether techers like it or not, special ed students need special
attention. The students have a right to be taught in a specific way
so they can learn and prosper.
