I am a secondary teacher of special education students in Florida. There are many problems with educations that are focused on but there appears to be a limited amount of voices about special education. Teaching struggling, detached, and dispassionate students is a passion for many special education teachers. Writing individualized education plans (IEP) is not a passion. Every year many special education teachers ( in my district anyway) are faced with the burden of making sure their "paperwork" is in correct order with manufactured language about the special ed student. If the paperwork in not in order then the teacher faces the risk of termination, never mind if the goals and benchmarks have been implemented.
