With all of the "teacher shortage" narrative, do any of your districts use exit interviews to find out why the teachers are exiting? Most districts don't so they can create their own version rather than fix what's broken. #NeverIEPAlone

Direct instruction it isn't about what curriculum the district uses for all students, it's about what your child needs to receive FAPE. They know the law, they count on being able to intimidate you. Define present levels & write SMART goals. Monitor progress like it's your job.

You cant believe what School Board say from the Dias. Watch how they vote and how they actually behave. Lot's of 🚬& 🪞instead of leadership. School Board seats are training grounds for higher office, they don't really care about teaching kids to read. Hard to believe, but 🎯

Enrollment in public schools in Florida is decreasing, some say due to vouchers. Do better public schools & kids won't exit. Teach reading with curriculum that is effective for all students, implement IEP's with fidelity. Stop perpetuating lies to parents. #FAPE #NeverIEPAlone

🛑Not #FAPE. This system, as it is currently being implemented, is picking winners & losers. They have all of the💰& resources in addition to the media that parrots their narrative. The long game is working for the politicians and those making 💰. Trusting them is dangerous.

When you can't see a complete budget in your district, you know there are shenanigans. Constant complaints from teachers that can't get what they need, yet those legal budgets keep growing. Folks, it isn't really about education. Don't believe what they say, watch what they do.

States pay State agencies to defend the States , they should be defending students without voices or resources. These peeps are $ incentivized to fix nothing. Only If parents start understanding this & become vocal, will something will be done to correct the #brokensystem

Parents, "wait and see" is allowing more instructional failure. MTSS/RTI can be concurrent with evals. Ask for evaluations in writing, that starts the Federal timeline for compliance. Polite, but firm. Always in writing. #NeverIEPAlone

🎯 Giving the taxpayers a high level recap, rather than allowing review of a complete budget is PR. This works and continues to fail kids and families because voters believe the BS. Watch what they do, not what they say. #NeverIEPAlone

Ask questions! Filing due process complaints is not the same as attending and prevailing at hearings. We are getting calls from parents feeling they have been duped. Don't be afraid to ask for references when you hire someone to represent you and your child. #NeverIEPAlone

"They don’t lie to you because the truth will hurt your feelings. They lie to you because the truth might provoke you to make choices that won’t serve their interest " Recap everything in an email. Hope for the best, but prepare for court. It's a jungle out there. 🦁🐯🐻

If something sounds "off", trust your gut, it is. Ask ?'s, gather data & move forward. We can't fix this broken, corrupt system, but you can get FAPE for your child! Work as collaboratively as possible & document to prepare for court! It's a jungle out there 🦁🐯🐻#NeverIEPAlone

Dear SB Members, If you don't do "exit interviews" when teachers leave, your lies about why they leave aren't going to be believed. Teachers are leaving because you are failing to do your job. Teachers, kids, & families are being destroyed under your watch. #Votethemout

It isn't about the reporting schools do on IEP goals, get the data to support their BS. Stop trusting the very broken educational system. Now.

Anyone want to better understand grievance options when a school doesn't follow an IEP and deliver FAPE? How to file a due process complaint or how to file a State complaint? Any interest? #FAPE #IEP #dyslexia #Literacy #Publicschool #ADHD #education

Schools don't need more 💰, they need to make better decisions with💰. Students, teachers & classrooms should be the priority, not more 6 figure admin & tech that isn't effective. Oh, and the compliance people are simply another layer to protect the broken system. #neveIEPalone

Often, grades are then "curved" so parents are not given accurate info re: their children. Parents, ask questions and look at the work samples. It's a jungle out there. HS classrooms full on non readers in A rated school districts. #NeverIEPalone

We help families with children that learn differently. Public education is just as broken as the other taxpayer funded systems. Hoping @doug_weinstein Max Schardt, Esq. (AKA Welcome back Mitch) Brian Steele etc. & YSL straighten out the Fulton County corruption💪. It all begins with #FAPE. THUGGERDAILY ひ

Some facts (people died, we've seen videos,bullets that don't match, missing $$$ jewelry) peppered with opinions & no evidence. If the jury stays laser focused on (lack of ) evidence it will be a quick Not Guilty. THUGGERDAILY ひ @doug_weinstein Max Schardt, Esq. (AKA Welcome back Mitch) #ysltrial
