Patty ❤️🤍💙 Prince of Dankness Chris Murphy 🟧 Bullshit. Districts are paying—i.e., wasting—millions in taxpayer dollars to law firms each year to deny diverse learners their FAPE rights. “Autism isn’t always easy” is NEVER justification for anyone to abuse innocent children. cc: Johnny Profane Âû #IDEAhearings Chris Murphy 🟧
Marilyn Muller Patty ❤️🤍💙 Prince of Dankness Chris Murphy 🟧 Johnny Profane Âû 100% Instead of my sons school honoring FAPE & being compliant they chose to spend $ on lawyers & thousands for compensatory education when I sued my son's school district in 2021. Would have been cheaper & more productive to just act like they give 💩 & were in compliance.
Huge achievement getting this officially recognised! Great job kate griggs and Made By Dyslexia 😁
Let me tell you something, most publicly educated kids in America are functionally illiterate b/c GOVT schools don’t employ #ScienceOfReading & functional illiteracy is inextricably linked to gun violence. Oprah Winfrey Chris Murphy 🟧 #EducationReformIsGunReform instagram.com/tv/CeJRqKKOR7L…
I live closest to failures in public education and special education services, Oprah Winfrey. Call me anecdotal, but you should do some due diligence before you continue providing legislators with a platform to mislead the public. #IDEAhearings Chris Murphy 🟧 theguardian.com/education/2008…
DYK #1 reason why Congress must hold #IDEAhearings—U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.? Of the 7.2M IDEA eligible kids, most (33%) have a specific learning disability (SLD), #1 SLD is dyslexia—same dyslexia as your child. Your dyslexic gets #ScienceOfReading in private—why NOT dyslexics in publics?
Annie Waldman ProPublica Aliyya Swaby Anna Clark Bianca I appreciate the reporting on America’s literacy crisis. I have many reasons to believe it’s inextricably linked to increases in gun violence and public school shootings, too. Our group of moms has been asking Congress to address failures in Federal ED policy but we’re ignored.
Annie Waldman ProPublica Aliyya Swaby Anna Clark Bianca My DM’s are open and I hope we connect. I know too many moms with kids who needlessly endure reading failure in America’s schools, and too many moms that’ve buried children who chose to die by suicide to escape the mental/social/emotional anguish of #FAPEdenied. TIA, Marilyn.
Yep, all this "new" work on math and anxiety is far from new. Been around for almost 50 years – since the 1970s! Lots of great "math marketers" in today's world. We need more people who are actually great at teaching math, not just re-branding old ideas. news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…
A small transcript from Emily Hanford’s Sold a Story podcast that sums up exactly how I feel having spent nine years teaching balanced literacy and all the students I failed. Anger, shame, sorrow. It’s not fair that we weren’t taught this properly at University. 💔😔
If you honestly believe Emily Hanford is blaming teachers, I will assume you have not listened to #SoldAStory. She tells the stories of teachers who were taught wrong. @missypurcell1 is all of us “Had I known I was doing the wrong thing, I would have fixed it. In a heartbeat.”
Hey Twitter, is anyone aware of a school board that's received training in #SoR and/or training on how to review early literacy screenings, curriculum & materials? Any help is appreciated!
