Friday Open Thread

Saw this story via a discussion page at Facebook on Kent School District - in 2017 the ACLU filed this court case against the state of Washington for Special Education students.

ACLU accusing the state of neglecting students with behavioral disabilities. One of the plaintiffs says her 13-year-old son who has bipolar disorder and ADHD has been targeted by teachers and excluded from his classroom.

Speaking of OSPI, OSPI Releases 2018–19 Student Discipline Data

The data are available at the school, district, and state level through the state Report Card.

The overall percentage of Washington’s students in grades K–12 who were excluded from school in the 2018–19 school year decreased slightly from the previous year (from 4.1% to 4.0%).

Students in foster care,with disabilities and Native American students all saw lower rates. 

The new data are from the first school year in which revised statewide student discipline rules were in effect. Additional rules just went into effect for the current school year.

Really good work from KUOW from a SPS student who is neurodiverse.

Neurodiversity includes conditions from autism to ADHD to dyslexia. Basically, it refers to variations in how our brains work.

"Most of the understanding gaps," Dede said, "tend to come from general education teachers' misunderstanding of what accommodations are.”

Part of her job is to help teachers understand that accommodations help create a classroom that supports a diversity of learning styles.

For me, accommodations often mean extra time to complete an assignment or another adjustment that makes it easier for my brain to express what I know.

I do have several upcoming posts including one on restorative justice, the Superintendent's visit to the Seattle Council Special Education PTSA (spoiler: not good), one on seclusion and restraint for Sped students (an uptick of stories on this issue have crossed my computer), and another on the Superintendent's (apparent) change of heart on grouping highly capable students (from when she was heading public education in Montana).

Just a heads up - I went and saw the film "Dr. Sleep" which is a continuation of "The Shining," with the boy in The Shining now grown and experiencing supernatural issues in his life.  I really liked the original film but this film, not so much.   I don't want to do a whole review  but wanted to let you know that there is one longish scene of torture of a child until his death.  I am a bit softie for kids and this really me hit hard and I closed my eyes until it was over.  So just in case you were thinking of seeing it, be warned.

On the upside for movies, I am looking forward to the careful calm of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood starring Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers.  Could be the best end to a tough week. 

What's on your mind?
