Inclusion For Special Education Children Depends on Teachers
Parents and teachers need to constantly be evaluating placements and programs for children with exceptional learning needs.. Special education team members need to look at the full continuum of placements for each child without assumption.

Support private schools. And support homeschooling.
The following is one of several attempts I’ve made to defend and justify homeschooling on broad strategic grounds:
