#Inclusive Education

[alwaysbewoke]

A new study by the education watchdog Available to All reveals that school attendance zones and selective admission policies in the U.S. often exclude students of color and low-income families from elite public schools, thereby reinstating levels of segregation reminiscent of 1968. The study criticizes the use of residential addresses for school assignments, which supports "educational redlining" that favors affluent families, leading to systemic inequalities in access to advanced educational programs. Available to All calls for legislative reforms to protect enrollment rights and recommends that school districts minimize the importance of geographical boundaries to combat segregation and improve school access for all. The resurgence of school segregation to levels seen in 1968 is a stark reminder of how deeply systemic inequality is entrenched in our education system. Policies that favor affluent families and perpetuate educational redlining deny many Black and low-income students the opportunity to access quality education.

but listen to the racists and coons, black people are just making shit up and "playing the victim/race card."

i just wanted to say that i’m so incredibly happy to see a comic that talks about special ed, i spend my entire late childhood to preteen-hood in the sped department, most of the staff members who would follow me around would physically and emotionally abuse me, i ended up having to be homeschooled and developed all sorts of mental issues as a result, and it took me years to heal from everything, i’m still working through my mental health, and knowing that i’m not the only person who went through this makes me super happy

...Makes me happy too :]

I wish you the best! It's true-- we really aren't alone. Even when it seems it. When I was a kid in the 2010s, I used to google "help, special ed makes me feel bad" or "special ed makes me sad" and I wouldn't be able to find anything except articles about how 'wonderful' of an environment it is, & why you should put your kids in there if you can. I thought I was going nuts for a while.

Kid-me felt so alone, I actually started Paperboy *as a child*, as a last-ditch way to cope. Summer between sixth and seventh grade, I would draw out all the terrible things that happened to my peers & I, but with different names and faces. In a little blue notebook. And I never stopped. Thank God other people are more vocal about it today, though. I don't want to be the only person who talks about this.

‼️[Heads up-- vague discussion of ableist abuse against a child & SA going onward!]‼️

I was in it for K-8, so ages 4-13. I was never hit by adults, but the emotional abuse & isolation ran so rampant that by 5, I was asking teachers, "Am I *good enough* to play with other kids yet? :D"

Needless to say, I was always noted to have self-esteem issues. (And staff had the audacity to wonder why?)

I'm so sorry, anon. Kids like you & me went through way too much. I remember it all: the screaming, the following, intimidation, condescension, EXTREME public humiliation, force-feeding, isolation, disabled kids bullying each other, botched education, violent situations, some times where I genuinely almost died, and then... well. I was sexually abused while I was in there, to say the least. And nobody would let me separate from the people who did it because the school insisted on keeping all their "special little things" together, away from everybody else. So I had to just... stay there. And take it. For months on end.

An adult even saw it one day. You could tell I was in trouble, I even screamed, "HELP ME!" at the top of my lungs. She looked right at me, straight-up eye contact, but... she turned her back. To talk to some General Ed kids on the other end of the recess yard.

Normal talk, too. She didn't send the girls to get help or anything. They had a pleasant little chat while I had the worst moment of my life.

I haven't healed up fully, but I'm doing... better? Working on Paperboy helps! My family wouldn't help me, but I did well enough that I got to be transferred out into General Ed at 13. And I got a therapist helping me out now at 19. But that environment genuinely took my entire childhood away from me; and that sucks! 4 is pretty much a toddler. 13 is a teenager already.

I will never understand why people think disabled students are to be treated like nothing. Special Ed & many of the people involved in it have some serious reform to do.

The Responsibility of Schools for Bullying Phenomenon. Tips on what Parents can do to protect Children from Bullying

Anytime I hear about bullying, it takes me right back to my school years. Back then, kids had no clue that their mean behavior had a name. They didn’t realize that what they were doing was called bullying. What I remember is that the kids who bullied others often did it out of jealousy. They targeted guys who were treated well by their parents, dressed better, and had more pocket money. They also…

I Teach Awesome Superheroes: Cultivating Confidence and Character in Students

"I Teach Awesome Superheroes" is a playful and empowering phrase often used by educators, particularly those working in special education or with neurodiverse students. This statement reframes the traditional teacher-student relationship, casting the students as superheroes and the teacher as their guide or mentor.

By referring to students as superheroes, this phrase acknowledges the unique strengths, abilities, and potential of each child. It recognizes that every student, regardless of their challenges or differences, has their own "superpowers" - whether it's a particular talent, a unique way of thinking, or an extraordinary ability to overcome obstacles.

For teachers, this mindset promotes a positive, strength-based approach to education. It encourages them to look beyond conventional measures of success and appreciate the diverse ways students can excel.

This phrase can be particularly meaningful in the context of teaching students with special needs or neurodevelopmental differences like autism. It celebrates neurodiversity and rejects the deficit model of disability, instead focusing on each student's individual strengths and potential.

For students, being seen as "superheroes" can boost self-esteem, encourage self-advocacy, and foster a positive attitude towards learning and personal growth. It reminds them that their differences are sources of strength, not limitations.

Special Education, often abbreviated as SPED, is a tailored approach to education designed to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. This field encompasses a wide range of services and support systems for learners with physical, cognitive, emotional, or developmental challenges.

SPED programs aim to provide individualized instruction, modified curriculum, and specialized resources to ensure that students with disabilities can access education and reach their full potential. These services may include one-on-one tutoring, assistive technology, occupational therapy, and behavioral interventions.

Special education teachers work closely with students, parents, and other professionals to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that outline specific goals and accommodations for each student. The ultimate goal of SPED is to promote inclusion, independence, and academic success for all learners.

Autism gifts for adults cater to the unique needs and interests of individuals on the spectrum. These may include sensory items like weighted blankets or fidget toys to help with relaxation and focus. Noise-canceling headphones can assist with auditory sensitivities. Organizational tools, such as visual schedules or specialized apps, can support daily living. For special interests, consider books, art

supplies, or collectibles related to their favorite subjects. Comfort items like soft clothing or compression garments may be appreciated.

Harnessing the Power of Educational Artificial Intelligence

Advantages and Potential of AI in Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various facets of our society, with education being one of the most significant areas of impact. The integration of AI into educational systems offers numerous benefits that can enhance learning experiences, improve outcomes, and democratize access to quality education. Below, we delve into some of the most profound advantages of Educational AI, supported by recent research and case studies.

Key Advantages of Educational Artificial Intelligence

1. Personalized Learning Experiences

AI algorithms can analyze individual student data to tailor educational content to each learner's unique needs. This personalization increases engagement and improves learning outcomes by ensuring that students receive instruction that matches their pace and learning style.

Dr. Emily Johnson's recent study, published in the Journal of Educational Technology, highlights that students who experienced AI-driven personalized learning showed a 30% improvement in comprehension and retention rates compared to traditional teaching methods.

Keywords: personalized learning, AI algorithms, educational outcomes

2. Enhanced Accessibility and Inclusion

AI technologies facilitate greater educational inclusivity by providing tools that support students with diverse needs. For instance, speech recognition and text-to-speech applications can aid students with disabilities, while AI-driven translation tools can break language barriers, making education accessible to non-native speakers.

The implementation of AI in inclusive education is well-documented in Dr. Ahmed Malik’s paper in Inclusive Education Review. His findings indicate a significant reduction in dropout rates among students with special needs when AI tools are integrated into their learning environments.

Keywords: accessibility, inclusive education, speech recognition, translation tools

3. Efficient Administration and Management

AI can automate administrative tasks such as grading, scheduling, and managing student records, thereby allowing educators to focus more on teaching and interacting with students. This efficiency not only saves time but also reduces human error in administrative processes.

A case study from Singapore’s Ministry of Education, published in Educational Management and Administration, reports that AI-driven administrative systems have reduced manual workload by 40%, enabling teachers to dedicate more time to curriculum development and student interaction.
