Disclaimer before I begin . I am a obama supporter always have and always will be. I have comment moderation on so think before you post.
So judging by the title I am a democrat which means that I like Obama. The best part is this is the first election that I will vote in so it is a big thing for me. Now here is what I thought of the debate last night.
Mitt Romney
"My own view, by the way, is I've added to that. I happen to believe — I want the kids that are getting federal dollars from IDEA or — or Title I — these are disabled kids or — or poor kids or — or lower-income kids, rather. I want them to be able to go to the school of their choice. So all federal funds, instead of going to the — to the state or to the school district, I'd have go — if you will, follow the child and let the parent and the child decide where to send their — their — their student."
Key
This / that :is what i will discuss
Idea or title one
Why are these two programs lumped together IDEA are disabled kids Title one is low income kids. Two seprate programs not all disabled kids are title one and vice vs. Take me I had an IEP all throughout schooling and both my parents are DRs
Kids with disabilities need to go to neighborhood school. They should not have to chose what program is better. If the kid is five then and there is a elementary school down the block then they should go to the school down the block. If same student is 15 then they should go to the high school across the street. We do not need a classes for disabled students to spend their majority of their day. All schools need to be inclusive it should not be a fight because you know what the message is when you isolate them is that " they can't learn" they need to be taught life skills. Its baby sitting. States run their policies differently in each state. CA is one of the worst. We need all public schools to be able to teach all students, this includes students with intellectual disabilities this guy says it best,
