What does having 1 special ed teacher for 37 elementary students in a school mean? Nothing in itself. What ratio is appropriate? It depends. Who is appropriate for this help? All students have needs. They should be addressed. The sorry answer is that the teachers are overwhelmed, the psych testing too long a wait and the teaching methodology geared against students with different learning strengths - good and challenging. It's the system, not the individuals. It's a political, not a learning issue. Form committees to change the system. There are ways. Must read: Linda Siegel, Understanding Dyslexia and other Learning Disabilities, Pacific Education Press, 2013. There is huge data, analysis and common sense. An excellent read for understanding learning and teaching in normal circumstances for all parents.
