Disincentives and Special Ed

Today I finally learned just how some of my students have slipped through the cracks without substantial intervention or a referral to special education...paperwork and bureaucratic hoops.

The checklist to even have a student looked at for services is a mile long and the packet teachers have to fill out is ridiculous.

With the secretarial type paperwork, student worksheets, lesson planning, grading, and a million other things...the current system appears to act as a disincentive for many teachers.
