As someone who worked with kids with special needs I can attest that many parents wouldn't have the ability to work with them at home. Most of these kids need the school structure and the routine whether or not it is in a public school.
Most of these parents would have difficulty providing the needs of these kids on their own. They require multiple specialized therapists and special educators to work with them.
I agree that typical kids can be homeschooled and could excell anywhere with attention, but I have a hard time envisioning many of my special needs kids from benefiting at home. Unless the parents have special ed training and some numerous therapists coming and going it could be possibly be done I suppose but would not be as beneficial as a structured school setting.
I understand what you are saying, but like our political system, our educational system needs to be revamped totally.
Thank you for working with children that need extra help and structure. Too bad we couldn't do that in homes where parents could be educated too.
I am sure the parents need a break and some must be so stressed, so schools must be a welcome relief at times as well as a needed resource. So thank you again.
Why thanks I loved my job and all my kids. I am now retired. But I still miss working with them.
I especially liked trying to figure out what made each of them tick what they enjoyed doing and using that to get them to learn even more. Getting their attention and holding it for as long as I could was the key to increase their skills. I typically worked one-on-one or in very small groups as a therapist.
