I'm a former Special Needs Student who became a Special Education critic and I would like to have a civil conversation about the flaws of Special Education in a perspective of a High-Functioning Student!

After asking r/specialed I thought I might like to hear your opinion regarding Special Education.

State Takeovers Are Not the Best Solution When a District Is in Trouble. Look to School Leaders Instead

Barnard: State Takeovers Are Not the Best Solution When a District Is in Trouble. Look to School Leaders Instead

Summary: State takeovers may be necessary in cases of severe fiscal problems or as a short-term solution. But given the high political costs and the low probability that they will benefit students and families in the long run, it’s worth considering an alternative. An effective way to insulate public schools from politics while simultaneously enfranchising local communities is to implement a system of accountability from below, not from above.

Is technology deskilling teachers?

I have seen a lot of post that have highlighting the use of technology in classrooms, and overall is redefining how and what teachers roles are in the classroom. With the rise of online curriculum's, I have noticed that teachers are becoming a lot less responsible for teaching students knowledge, but more as facilitators on how they view and acquire that knowledge.

So I guess my question is do teachers seem to be "deskilling" with the rise of technology use in classroom. I have always seen the argument play out in public education but curious to know if anyone has any experience with this transition with higher education.

What's more important, major or degree?

I can finish a bachelors in Fire Science in two years or get a more useful degree over 4 years. I already have my associates and my main interest in education is to hedge myself in case I get hurt and can't work a physically demanding job anymore. However I also would receive an annual 5% stipend and a raise in the military if I commission with the Reserves.

I read that only 27% of degree holders actually work in the field they studied. Am I wasting my time on a degree that can't be used anywhere or will having the degree and life experience actually get me a desirable career if I need it?

@ManuelGilAnton : Lo que hay que aprender en la escuela es tanto y tan variado, según la Ley, que resulta responsable de todo. Va una lista de lo que se le encarga, y "aún hay más". ¿Alguna sugerencia? @El_Universal_Mx @Univ_Opinion https://t.co/eMePa4N3L6

PISA scores by state?

I read in a reddit comment that some PISA scores in individual states are equal to/higher than Finland's PISA scores. But I can't find information on PISA scores by state. Can anyone here point me to that information?
