Teacher here,

Academic accommodations have literally nothing to do with teaching the kids different shit, only teaching the same shit in an environment which allows them to function effectively.

Let's take the kid with bad writing, possibly due to some grapho-motor difficulty. If you ask him to write an essay in 40 minutes, he will write you an articulate paper that's worthy of an A, but it will be illegible. If you let him type it instead, you can read it and he gets the grade the content of his paper deserves.

Accommodations aren't the central issue with education, particularly American education. A lot of the real issues have to do with companies like Pearson shaping law around being able to sell textbooks and teach their bullshit cookie cutter lessons by making curriculum too tedious to develop and then justify on your own.

Are these the same people trying to add Art to STEM?

How does that translate to real world? If you tell a kid in school he never has to write a single paper only type it, what happens when he has to write something when he gets older?
Or if a kid can only do homework when theres nobody watching him, etc? The real world doesnt make exceptions like this

I should add that this is literally how Doctors function these days. Glorified pharma reps.

What?

There are maths/science/english teachers, right?

And those are split into smart people segregated not so smart people

Every kid also has 2 parents

Is that not enough?

For some accommodations, the idea is that you'd scaffold the material to a level they can work at. As they advance from elementary up, you afford them the opportunity to write/whatever at the level that they can do. Will they ever write on the level of their peers? Probably not, but they'll have the general knowledge they need and skills at the level at which they were able to learn.

Of course the student as an adult will have to choose a profession suited to their skills, but at least their weaknesses did not unduly impact their ability to learn in general in the classroom.

Some parents are like having a second teaching team at home, some parents are dead weight because they are too busy or too apathetic to care, and some parents are downright detrimental to your work e.g. encouraging their children not to do their homework or blaming you for their shitty grades.

>I can't grip a pen or pencil
That's not in the same category as the other three. That's a physical disability and the other three are with thinking.

Honestly whether people like it or not, this sort of shit is the future, thanks to the advancements of automation. Computers can handle complex algorithm solving with only very basic data entry required from a human source, recording information through analog means rather than digital is becoming increasingly archaic, I've heard penmanship isn't even really a part of elementary teaching now. I remember when I was a child, they even taught us cursive, and I no longer remember how to do that because of how obsolete it became. The same with apply to these other dwindling areas, yet the market hasn't adjusted to these facts.

Yeah it does, we don't live in a Stalinist world were you're forced to work a certain job. If you're bad at writing, you get a job where you can type.

Because teaching boys and girls in the same classroom has turned out so well right?

I think VR educational games are going to be a big hit soon enough.

The headsets will be broken or stolen within a month. LAUSD had this genius idea of providing iPads for students in the district and most of them ended up being sold. You might find that shit in nice private schools, public schools absolutely not.

not teaching cursive and penmanship has ulterior motives. It's not because it is dead. It is because all of our founding documents are written in cursive. Make it impossible for future generations to read our founding documents and then the (((overlords))) can write their own.

It pisses me off how much money we spend bringing low performers "up to grade level" compared to how little we spend pushing bright kids even further. Even magnate schools or gifted programs aren't that great.

the worst of this pic is instead of helping them go over their limitations she is adapting to them

Depends on the public school, you need parents rich enough to pay for the replacement of the device and a district nice enough that expulsion is less desirable than compliance.

Chromebooks are a better alternative other than the google botnet (which a school wouldn't really care about) as wifi is pretty easy to propagate throughout the building and they easily complete the basic computing tasks necessary to teach in general.
