Questions & Answers
Question : How do you feel about placing students who do not speak english or children with disabilities in a regular cla
How do you feel about placing students who do not speak english or children with disabilities in a regular classroom?
Answer:
Children who do not speak English should be mainstreamed into regular classes. In America, I believe, we have made too many accomodations for immigrants not to assimilate into our society. I can't tell you how often I need to speak to an adult and they never bothered to learn English! Shame on us for allowing it! Best time to learn a language is childhood and believe me, they can do it.
Handicapped children should be treated with normalcy (which I see as dignity) whenever possible, so they should be mainstreamed when they can as well.

Question : What would be a reasonable salary for a teacher assistant of children with mental disabilities?
I was recently informed that I got a job as an assistant for a teacher who teaches children with disabilities.. I just want to know a salary so I know if I should take it or not!!!
Answer:
Dedicated aides tend to earn the same as an other classroom aides. The things that can effect the salary would be prior experience, any specialized training or college classes/degrees you may have and how long you have been working in that particular school district. Most aides seem to earn somewhere between $20,000-$30,000 a year, depending on the state and district. The school should tell you your salary when they offered you the position and you should be able to find out the salary range for that job by looking it up on the school districts website or by calling the district personel office. Keep in mind that most aide salaries are determined by the factors above...there is little "negotiation" room with them. Also, you will need to consider if you want to paid just while school is in or have your pay divided up to include payments while school is out for the summer..that will mean smaller checks, but no period of time without income.

Question : What is the drop out rate for kids with Learning disabilities?
One person answered me in another posting just
because they are promoted does not mean they passed. Why promote them? It is time to stop making excuses for kids with LD and try to find
a way to teach the same high standards to them
but present the high standards in a different way.
I am not talking about mentally retarded or slow learners,but kids with moderated learning disabilities. In my time I gave up on school because school gave up on me.There was no
help in my time. I fell through the cracks and
society still holds me accountable for something
I had no control over. Do you all think I am uneducable and beyond help. Why is it my fault?
I use to be told it was my fault for not trying harder?
Answer:
The drop out rate for high school kids is at about 30%. That number includes those with learning disabilities. This is an appalling figure, and I'm sure the reasons are as varied as the kids. Some regions in the US have higher rates than others, but it averages out to about 30%. I'm sure lots of these kids would say something similar to what you stated - fell through the cracks. I know my son would agree. I certainly wouldn't say you are uneducable. Your spelling is impeccable, or you at least know how to use spell check, and that's a lot more than some of the questions and answers I've seen in YA. My older son finally went to adult school to work on his diploma, and he had a lot more success there than he had in high school. I'd like to encourage you to complete your diploma. It will give you a really good feeling of accomplishment just proving to yourself that you can do it. And, it will be one less strike against you.
