James Logan’s Special Education program is rapidly growing and it might not be a good thing.
6,612,752 children and students ages 3 to 21 are under IDE (Individuals with Disabilities Education). Since the law was proposed in 1977, the total number of students increased by 81%. Special Education involves different learning styles to help the students. Teachers devote more time into a single student and help strengthen where they are having difficulties.
With the growth of students, teachers won’t be able to get to all the students and provide the attention they need. Brenda Moreno, a resource teacher at JLHS, agrees and says other teachers are under a lot of stress about the subject.
