Special Education teacher does not place students in the wrong classes. There is a lack of communication. District requires excessive amounts of computer training. Time for class and lesson preparation has been reduced. The teaching process has become secondary.
Teachers seem to be considered second to buildings and computers.
The ESL program is great. The district now has the biggest group of students ever who can't speak English at all. There was a 20-kid increase this year. These kids know they are different. The public perception is that teachers aren't professionals.
