Individuals With Disabilities Education Act
* MY ISSUE TODAY IS ABOUT THE SPECIAL ED PROGRAM WE HAVE IN HAMILTON HS. I AM AGAINST THE WAY THE PROGRAM IS BEING MANAGED. I BELIEVE THAT THE STUDENTS IN OUR SPECIALED PROGRAM DON’T RECEIVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ATTENTION AND EDUCATION THEY NEED AND THE WAY THEY ARE TREATED BY THERE AIDS. THEREFORE I AM HERE TODAY LET YOU KNOW MY REASONS WHY I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Theres a group in congress that protects the rights of special needs children…..there called the * Council for Exceptional Children which is an international community of educators who are the voice and vision of special and gifted education. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with exceptionalities and their families

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a United States federal law that governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education, and related services to children with disabilities. It addresses the educational needs of children with disabilities from birth to age 18 or 21 in cases that involve 14 specified categories of disability. * The IDEA is "spending clause" legislation, meaning that it only applies to those States and their local educational agencies that accept federal funding under the IDEA. Hamilton has title 19 and other federal funding they receive therefore this school is bound to the IDEA Act! So tell me why is it that these kids who are just like me just like you aren’t receiving the help they are supposed to be getting?
This Act strengthens academic expectations and accountability for the nation's 5.8 million children with disabilities and bridges the gap that has too often existed between what children with disabilities learn and what is required in regular curriculum. * PROS OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM AT HAM HOUSE: - ONE OF THE THINGS HAMILTON HAS DONE RIGHT IS MEETING ONE OF THE IDEA ACTS REQUIREMENTS WHICH IS Students with disabilities should be prepared for further education, employment and independent

* CONS: Cons would be what I said earlier the way they meet the requirement for the idea act of preparing special ed kids for jobs and independent life. . YES THEY HAVE. YOU ALL SEE HOW IN THE LUNCH ROOM THEY HAVE SPECIAL ED KIDS FROM THE NOT SO DISABLED TO THE ONES THAT ARE IN ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS PUSHING THE TRASH CANS. THAT’S THERE WAY OF SHOWING THEM INDEPENDENT LIVING AND EMPLOYMENT? BY BEING TREATED LIKE TRASH. WE ARENT ANY BETTER THAN THEM. IN FACT US STUDENTS AND TEACHERS THAT ARENT IN THE SPEC ED PROGRAM ARE MORE THAN ABLE TO GET OUR ASSES UP AND THROW OUT OUR OWN TRASH!

* Another con about the program is how the aids mistreat the students and are in my opinion unfit to be their aids. The teachers are mean and get nasty with the students. For example I see some aids getting angry with the kids and even drag them on the floor or snatch them up by their shirts. We need better supervision and teachers that are more understanding and patient with the

    While IDEA is a federal law, it places the responsibility of providing a free and appropriate public education to the local education agencies and the individual states. In accordance with the 10th amendment, establishing and overseeing a public education system is a power for individual states. While IDEA contains guidelines for what constitutes a free and appropriate education (FAPE) for students with disabilities, it does not dictate how FAPE should be determined. It is the responsibility of the IEP team and local school agencies to determine what FAPE is for each disabled child.…

    Healthy Hungar Act

    This act has to be one of the best programs I have read about, In my opinion this is great even though some people feel if families can afford to pay for meals they should. That’s all great but truthfully these schools have been missing out on financial funding from the government because families that cannot afford to pay for lunch or breakfast do not fill out the proper paperwork. This is costing schools over 325,000 dollars in the local Boston area alone. These forms are usually invasive and families decide to not fill them out. There is also the pride factor of the Mom and Dad not wanting to depend on the government and pay for school lunches or pack their kids food. Thus, making it a burden on that kid not getting the nutrition needed since only 1% of packed lunches provide the proper nourishment a kid needs.…
