To be honest, public education has needed significant reform for quite some time. The original goal of the public education system was to produce factory workers who all thought and behaved in the same way, prioritizing obedience over critical thinking skills. While I am not a fan of the former president, this may be the first wake-up call or change in direction that we so desperately need. Let the show begin.
I agree 100%!! I believe they want to produce more labor workers now. The former pres just spoke on school having a focus on learning work skills and doing internships to be ready for the workforce.
So true!
Education focuses so, so much on, "sit still, be quiet," which just doesn't work well for many kids, especially young boys.
Right!!! Especially for boys and the higher number of kids we are seeing with “ADHD”
I am also for opening up small schools. I love how you pointed out that if a child is two grade levels behind how realistically they may not catch up. Also acknowledging & being educated on their particular learning challenges. I hope my grandson although not as academically gifted as others will have the opportunity to learn and work in a job that he enjoys, without fear or ridicule. He just told me if I can’t be an NFL player I will be the Mascot as long as I am there. I love his enthusiasm despite how others view his neurodivergent diagnosis.
Oh my!!! I love him. He is going to be okay grandma because he gets already. In playing for transition, I always tell my kids we have to keep our options open. You want to be a doctor. Ok, here is what it takes. If you are unable to do what it takes, then you still can be in the medical field. What about a nurse? If we can’t meet the standard for that what about a phlebotomist, dialysis tech, nurse aide. We can always find a way to help our kids find employment in the fields they love. ❤️❤️❤️ Your grandson sounds like a student I would love to work with.
We are going through this with our daughter and deciding if we are going to let her go on to middle school or home school her. There's a huge difference in her maturity and emotional age vs her grade level age. I also feel like you talked about that the teachers are just giving her a grade on her report card of a B but the papers that are coming home are all 50 percent correct. How can she be at grade level with a B and not have more points on her papers. I challenge the school all the time but I feel like they don't want to push her to hard for fear of her having a meltdown. Society is going to push her and she will have to learn to cope. Just like she doesn't like the culture of having to wear a bra. I understand but she doesn't get it yet. She will. I feel like pushing her on to regular middle school is going to be the end of her incense and us worry about her trusting everyone. Parenting is not for the faint of heart.
@laraellis1650 it’s a lot, it really is. I just wish more parents in your situation could connect and work together to provide what your children need.
OMG!!!! THIS HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO ME!!! I HAVE BEEN SO DEPRESSED BECAUSE I FINALLY WALKED AWAY FROM A SCHOOL IN 2023 BECAUSE THEY WERE WANTING TO JUST GIVE KIDS GRADES AND EVERYTHING ELSES U WERE TALKING ABOUT. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME AS HEAD TEACHER. IT WAS HORRIBLE WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO THOSE STUDENTS. THEY WERE MAD AT ME BECAUSE I WAS COMMUNICATING WITH THE PARENTS, BUT THAT WAS WHAT I HAD BEEN TALK TO DO AT MY PREVIOUS SCHOOL. THEY WERE TRYING TO LABEL ALL THE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL AS SPECIAL NEEDS TOO. WHAT YOU ARE DOING GAVE ME HOPE FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE THEY GET LOST IN THE SYSTEM. MOST SCHOOLS PUT MORE MONEY ON SPORTS AND BAND AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THINGS AND NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TO FUND THEIR NEEDS AND TEACHERS SPEND SO MUCH MORE OUT OF POCKET.
You are so welcome!!! Keep your head up and just try not to become one of those teachers. It’s so hard when you work in an environment like that.❤️
Thank you for speaking to the constant struggles in public education for students that need quality instruction and additional time to do great things.
You are so welcome!
As a public school teacher of 34 years, everything you said is exactly right. I appreciate what you are doing in your community. Thank you for your insights.
Awww…thank you and thank you for your service. I hope I can get more parents on board so that more teachers can reach the level of service you have. The times of teachers staying in education for 30+ years is gone because of how it has become. Hopefully we can create environments where both teachers and students thrive.
Wow, you have beautifully highlighted the complexities of this system as it is now and special education students. I tutor students (some special education and some not) who are behind in grade level. On top of that, I have a 2 boys in elementary school myself, one who I have held back a grade because I just needed to slow down and work with him more and one who has an IEP…. Long story short, there are a lot of challenges and I really want to do something different for them. And I think you’ve really encouraged me to think about what that can look like. Thank you for this dialogue!
Awww…thank you. Look into starting your own school or homeschool co-op. There is a trend of moms creating the types of schools they need for their children. Some states are more friendly than others.
@ I most certainly will start looking into this! Thank you
My little guy had so much difficulty learning to read…he was confused…so I went back to the very old ‘Dick and Jane’ books…because they only start off adding one or two words at each story…….and we would go over those new words before we read each new story……so he got the emotional feeling of ‘I’m reading’ and it slowed things down so that he can handle it. He started kindergarten not being able to recognize any letters….Hes now in Second grade……his reading is improved…reading at about 1.5 grade level… I do a ‘homeschool’ session with him every day after school….we focus on reading, spelling words for school, and penmanship…..our little homeschool sessions are about 45 minutes in length…and I give him a couple hours after school to de escalate from his school day before we do our ‘homeschool’ session. He’s also in a Special Ed classroom for part of the day at school.
Thank you, thank you for talking about this!! I've been in Special Education for over 30 years, IN TEXAS!! So, I know what it means to have to fight for my students. My plan is to definitely open my own "small school " and advocate for those that need that "extra"!! Thanks again!!😊
You are so welcome!!! Go for it!!! I did a whole playlist on starting your own school. If you have questions let me know.
The whole public education system needs a huge overhaul, but special education even more so. I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but coming from a former special ed kid with mild autism and learning disabilities, mainstreaming was the worst thing for me. Gen ed teachers usually don’t know how to accommodate special needs students properly and simply don’t have the time to modify their curriculum. Also, I got bullied by the neurotypical students and comparing myself to them did a lot of damage to my self-esteem. While inclusion in regular classes works for some sped kids, it doesn’t work for many like myself who needed to be in a small classroom environment that focused heavily on reading, math, life skills, social skills, and preparation for the future.
Not to mention, sitting still at a desk for hours on end was like torture for me and the only way I really learn things is by doing them and applying those skills in the “real world” instead of reading out of a textbook or doing worksheets.
As for regular education, they need to actually focus more on students properly learning their academics which is what school is for, and stop teaching identity politics and pushing certain ideologies and political agendas. Also, critical thinking skills is extremely important for all students to learn. Thank you for doing what you do, Cindy because I sure could’ve used a school like yours when I was younger! ❤
I agree special education is not working. However I am a Speech language Pathologist. I have tried working in multiple settings. The field is broken. I cannot do individual lesson plans for 40+ students a week, do the same amount of testing and report writing as a school psychologist along with being an IEP case manager for only speech and language students while having to write and attend IEP meetings for 40 - 80 kids. Also all of the different diagnoses Speech therapists are supposedly experts in. I have to be a specialist in speech sound disorders, language disorders, autism, social skills, executive functioning. I do not know this when I got my degree and chose this field. When I first started out SLPs only worked on stuttering, speech sound disorders and typical language delays.
I love your stance on this!! we don't know that's for sure...but we do know that the edu system right now is not working. I'm hoping this will educate parents more about the reality of public school and other schools. I hope that things will improve. I also really agree that state testing is not the way. Also, truly modifying is a lot of work for GenEd teachers and if we're honest it's probably not being done well by most no fault to gened teacher.
Thank you!!! And I totally agree about gen Ed teachers.
Great video Ma'am. I appreciate it.
You are so welcome
I am a fan of opening small schools

@CindyTheLDCoach Continue to walk by faith and not by sight. God bless you, in all that you do, for His glory in this hour. ❤️🙏🏽
As an RBT that has worked in the school systems in Illinois the Governor has granted schools more money for SPED Support but the schools are pocketing the money and giving these kids the bare minimum of support or sometimes none at all. Parents are not educated on their rights of having support provided for their children in the school systems. Blame the school systems and ask them about their bonuses at the end of the fiscal year 😮
Wow!!! I cannot speak to this, but I know for sure that those in authority where I am from would take sped resources and use them else where.
Much respect to you and what you do. One of my students has an RBT and it’s the only way I could educate him. He is so good with him. I told the student’s mom, he has done more more the 1st 2 months of school, then the entire semester last year and it’s ALL the work of the RBT.
I would also like to add that going to a charter school since Kindergarten did not help . He is now in sixth grade reading & testing two grade levels behind. I had to wait an entire year before they evaluated him for SPED ! Third grade was rough & the behavior amplified in 4th-5th .Hopefully changing schools and modifying his assignments will help.
🙏🏽
Discipline problems being included in exceptional education is a major problem for everyone who actually wants to learn. Putting these students in their least restrictive environment places the others in their MOST restrictive environment; therefore, nobody learns. It’s a sad cycle. The No Child Left Behind resulted in No Child Gets Ahead
I have a child in special Education…he is high functioning autistic……but has some frustrating in learning…..I wish they had Summer School that he could go to that focused on reading, math and handwriting. I’d even pay for it. That would be such a big help!
If you’re willing to pay you can find a good tutor I’m sure
Not enough parents are fighting for their child and understanding when the fight with public school is too much and understanding it’s time for an alternative like what you are doing. I rather my child have a chance of learning to their potential then to be in public school being pushed to the next grade after grade and they not learning anything because it’s way over their head.
Thank you. So what's the plan when you know this but your children have to be in school?
This is a great question and just depending on your resources and that of your community it may not be easy. However, I would do alternative education, etc. Private school, micro-school, if you can handle it homeschool. Depending on your state, there are vouchers for students with disabilities. Also, it he/she may be a unicorn, but a retired teacher. Also, having a tutor. However, I like creating environments where their confidence can be improved because they are not comparing themselves to their gen Ed peers. In minority communities what I would like to see is more parents come together to establish these types of schools for their children. In essence, it’s what I’ve done. I’m still just trying to find enough parents who will truly support it so that it can grow and be here after me. This is what other groups do to meet the needs of their kids, granted often they have resources or access through connections.
Yes absolutely I am a student/Detroit Resident and I’m curious if it will affect us to I’m 21 years old who has a disability and what I can for sure say atleast where I’m at Detroit Public Schools lacks with there Special Education what they need to do in my opinion is open up new Special Education Facility Center programs I’ll probably say something aged 4-26 or another program that’s aged 18-26 have multiple programs such as a program for (Low Functioning Students) and a Special Education program for (High Functioning Students) such as me have these programs provide free School Bus Transportation so the students can get the education they need there heavenly focusing on the General Ed/Regular Ed students and not the Special Education students and it’s bogus to me I truly hope something good comes from this because where I live at there are so many vacant schools that could literally be used as a Special Education Facility but I guess Detroit Public Schools is to lazy to do that and rather focus on the General Ed students.
Wow!! I am so impressed with your awareness for what is need for you and your community. Use your voice and advocate for yourself and others. ❤️
Ok, I have already watched 3 of your videos....😂
Wow, thanks!!! I hope they were interesting. I love education and TH-cam.🤣
The quality of Special Education depends on where you live….just moved out of Tx…Tx education was a joke and the Special Education was unbelievably bad! New state, not perfect, but much better!
fortunately project 2025 isnt happening
Are you stupid it's already in action
I wouldn’t say that at all. So many things listed have been set in motion. You just don’t know how it will look if it actually land.
@@CindyTheLDCoach can you give me some examples! i definitely want to hear (no sarcasm geuinely want to know)
None taken- remember I said set in motion, obviously until President Trump takes action and either go through with this or not is when we can say it’s not happening. However, things are happening we just don’t know to what extent. sde.ok.gov/press-release/2024-11-07/walters-notifies-oklahoma-parents-and-superintendents-preparations
Right. It didn't come from Trump!
