Otherwise, I'm just going to consider it that you are just basically asking us to believe you at your word. Given that schools want the federal funding - because well paychecks and pensions and teacher unions are real things - I cannot see where you are getting your facts from.
My sister teaches 1st grade (and taught one year of 5th grade) at a really bad school. I'm relaying her experience.
I'm curious what it is in the post you are skeptical of. It's anecdotal, for sure. But do you not think a scenario like this exists?
I'm just asking you to cite your sources. I do educational advocacy in my area. I know my way around IDEA and NCLB . And because of the direction of this thread and its importance and since you are stating claims as fact, I don't think I'm being unreasonable in asking you to provide legitimate statistics.
