Today felt endless.
Even Rex offered me some counselling today:
Long story short; inclusive classrooms are at the point of failure. Although the classroom appeared to on occasion benefit Special Education students, the mainstreamed students appear to suffer. Because of this, the classroom is a difficult place. I'm also slowly realizing how much of a joke our education system it. The "No child left behind act" is a sorry excuse for a failing education system. If a student doesn't understand the content in a 5th grade classroom because they are at a 3rd grade reading level... Why are they going on to 6th grade next year?
These are just little frustrations that come to light when you are situated in the environment.
But at the end of the day all we can do is pick ourselves up and prepare for tomorrow.
