What you don’t seem to understand is that the Department of Education provides funding for Title I schools and for students with disabilities. In addition to funding, they also provide oversight to make sure that these schools and students are treated equitably. I taught, by choice, for 38 years in Title I schools and was proud that students with IEPs were often placed in my classroom because of the teaching methods I used. I know firsthand how much difference this federal funding and oversight make. I also taught children of migrant workers, and my goodness, the success stories I could tell you because of the special programs funded by the DoEd.

Thank you. Teachers are the cornerstone of our very foundation. It's sad and outrageously unfair how badly they are treated and disrespected in this country. And to now have a president leading the assault is an absolute abomination.
