It is reported that 1 in 7 children is born today with a disability. If
the Chicago Public Schools continue to cut first from disability education,
they are robbing more than 14% of their students from education
opportunities! |

A commitment to equality in education means providing for people with
individual needs, and this can only be done with smaller classes. Our
society cannot afford to sacrifice the talents and abilities that minimally
decent education would help these students develop. |

because it is unintelligent of top school officals to believe that only
"certain students" are only capable of learning. It is obvious
that that Arne Duncan and his subordinates only recognize high profile
schools that gives them exposer. Mr. Duncan has already closed many schools
already---mainly in low-income areas; he has not seen to equal afterschool
curriculum to underfunded schools; and he fires teachers that actually give
a damn about our kids. He and his staff are just as responsible--if not
more for the drop-out rate of our youth. There are enough kids without a
steady and comfortable home environment. Then they are sent to school where
teachers don't care, not enough books and supplies,unsafe and unclean,
unreported rapes of both sexes...and now he has the nerve to take away
Special Education curriculums. What is wrong with him? He only visits
schools in nice areas (just watch TV, have you ever seen him in any
low-income schools?)Underfunded schools? NO!!!! It is disgusting to even
have him over the CPS. Quality and equal education means for all
students...not the ones he pick and chooses. I encourage ALL PARENTS<
RELATIVES< GRANDPARENTS< PEOPLE OF ALL PROFESSIONS , to stand up for
our youth. Despite of CPS trying to undermine the intelligence of our
youth...they are our future. If WE don't stand up for them...who do
they have? Think about it! |

My hearing daughter wants to be a teacher. This can hurt her if she works
with the deaf kids. How can she help them if the damn CPS will lay off the
"special teachers" over and over?? It will be hard for her to get
a tenure!!!! |

I support this decision beacuse it is unintelligent of top school officials
to believe that only "certain students" are capable and deserving
of learning. It is obvious that Arne Duncan and his subordinates only
recognize schools on a high profile staus. Mr. Duncan has never frequented
in any low-income areas. Just watch TV and you will see his frequent visits
to schools in high to medium income areas. Mr. Duncan has already closed a
large number of schools (which led to more overpopulated classes and
understaffed schools--not to mention more assalts by youth, because they
are from different areas) he has not seen to afterschool activities be
placed back into a majority of underfunded schools, he fires TRUE teachers
that actually give a damn about our kids, he has not seen to schools having
up-to-date textbooks to supply each student, he has not seen to Principles
exercising their position to overseeing teachers perform their job to their
fullest...and letting go those that are not. Mr. Ducan and his staff are
just as responsible--if not more for the dropout rate of our youth. There
are enough kids without steady and comfortable home environments. Then
they are sent to school where a majority of teachers don't care whether
they learn or not, teachers that are just fed up with the system and have
just given up, not enough supplies or no supplies at all, (I personally
know teachers that have paid out-of -pocket for materials for their
students), the schools are unsafe, unclean, unkept (some of these schools
have all kinds of litter on school grounds and inside as well (again-this
goes back to the Principle of the schools), not to mention unreported rapes
of both sexes...and now he has the audacity to take away Special Education
curriculum!!! It is disgusting and disturbing. Quality and equal education
is suppose to be provided for ALL STUDENTS, OF ALL ETHNIC AND ECONOMIC
BACKGROUNDS, not just the ones he picks and chooses. I encourage |

What a pity. Arne and thje boys have fully screwed those who need the most
by giving them the least. So much for the rule of law in the Corey H.
decision. The law means nothing to them-all they want is to prejudice the
poor children who can't help themselves. FOR SHAME !!! |

special ed teahers make every day, especially when I'm scheduled to sub
for one of them and see how difficuot it is. Without these heroes and
heroines, many children could not be in public schools, and institutional
care would be MUCH MORE COSTLY! |

I work with deaf children and deaf adults who have children and understand
the importance of quality education for all students, especially those who
have as much potential as these students many of whom have no disability
other than the language in which their instruction must occur. The
long-term benefits to this city will out-weigh current costs. |
