This was very shocking and upsetting to see that students in special education aren't being included.

I feel like the system can work and provide for students who are in special needs class, it just that the system do not seem to care about them. Which is why most parents fight for their children to go to school.

This one was also sad because these students are stuck and left behind many times when they are put in the special education program. This is also unfair they should be able to move on with all of the other students. I never knew that any of these issues were actually going on.

I think that this article semes kind of familiar to me. I've done a lot of research on inclusivity and the benefits of it. I think special education is such an important yet tricky situation. I think having special education students in typical classrooms is so beneficial, but these students still need to have the benefits of special needs instructions.

I was shocked to learn that many people believe in segregating disabled children. It made me thoughtful about how i can model my teaching in a way that is inclusive to all of my students

Including special education students in everyday general education classrooms is more typical nowadays, but the funding and resources would need to be fed more in order for the teachers to receive it and enact it themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall very eye-opening into the current state of the special needs classrooms in our country today. My favorite section was the "what should we do", where it was highlighted that differentiating and specializing instruction for every child is useful, causing really no further need for the separation of childlren with special need.

its hard to see how hard teachers work with little reward for their students

# data[].attributes.body
It was hard to read about why the current system isn't working and how that affects the students in special education.

I thought was so upsetting to find out that there were financial limitations for resources and aid for the education of students with special needs. Also how unfair that is for students and families. I cant imagine being a parent in that situation it was just heartbreaking.

Concerned me on behalf of my future students & self and how can I make a difference without burning myself out.

I thought that this sad that the students weren't getting the proper education they need to succeed because of funding.

Shocking that most students in special education will stay there as they have less resources compared to neurotypical students

It is concerning to know about how education works in general. To see that teachers are trying but it is still not enough because at th end of the day children need a whole team to work with/for them.

When reading the article, Why Special Education isn’t Working, I read that they believe that an all-inclusive classroom was more beneficial to students with all needs. I agree that a classroom should be all inclusive as long as there are enough teachers to accommodate these children who need extra services and each student should be with peers of their current academic level instead of split by age. By encouraging inclusion, it will also teach all children to be excepting of others needs.

It was frustrating to read how the law is so against disability and aid, and how difficult it is for educators and parents to be provided with proper accommodations for their students who need it the most

# data[].attributes.body
I feel disheartened to know that because of flawed policies, lack of funds for public education and educational inequity have failed millions of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I was disappointed to see the problems regarding the financial aspects that can cause lack of success for these kind of classrooms

# data[].attributes.body
I felt sad that that they were forced to stay home or enter places that are not fit for learning.

Before reading the article, I didn't realize how important resources and funding were to getting special needs students the help they need in school.

My reaction to the "America's Broken Promise" article was a bit of a shock. I think I didn't realize the extent of difficulty the special education families were experiencing. I think it's really sad that these programs aren't receiving the funds and resources they need.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting to read about the issues with funding and how that affects resource availability.

I was deeply concerned and highly bothered at the lack of support from the federal and district even after IDEA program. It is so sad how they ignore issues.

This article was very sad to read especially reading about how the teachers are being underpaid or not paid at all for the extra hours and money they are spending for the special education program. And the fact that this is still going on is just unfair to all of these students. It is not their fault they did not choose that way of life everything should be funded equally.

# data[].attributes.body
It made me sad. You have a teacher who knows her students could benefit from inclusivity but that isn't being adhered to. It makes me fearful for the future of my own classroom. Will I also be left feeling defeated by the failed system?

# data[].attributes.body
It was upsetting that a teacher felt that she had to pay out of pocket so these students could get the help they needed.

I found this piece interesting as it thoroughly highlighted the severity of the disparity in this country. However, it was obviously very upsetting.

To How America's Broken Promise to Millions of Students Became the Status Quo, it was saddening knowing how manyy teachers try so hard for their students with little support

# data[].attributes.body
It made me angry. Not providing millions of students with proper accommodations isn't just unfair it's illegal. It is upsetting to know the legislation isn't being properly followed and so many students are at risk.  These kids are our future and we're failing them.

I thought that it was sad to know that there were financial stipulations regarding aid and resources for special needs education.

In How America’s Broken Promise to Millions of Students Became the Status Quo, it discusses how a teacher was ready to go above and beyond for her students who needed extra resources. She was paying out of pocket to supply them with as many resources as possible on her own dime including working extra hours at no pay. An education is a right that each person is allowed to have no matter their disability and if we aren’t giving them resources to help them be successful, we are failing them. A teacher does not make a lot of money, so it is unfair that any teacher should have to pay out of pocket in order to do their job efficiently. It is the federal government that should be ensuring that each school, and each classroom, has the resources they need to aid these students. If we had this, maybe we could keep teachers in the classroom instead of them burning out because they are trying to do the impossible for 25 students.
