>From Beverly: ..............if we just ignore the RtI-ers, we are able to teach in the way we see is best for our kids. :-(
Beverly and others: I am an administrator and I am having a very hard time "ignoring" RtI - it is a law in my state - in fact our law has gone above and beyond the federal guidelines. I do not have a classroom where I can just shut my door and teach the way I believe - which is also supported by tons and tons of research. So, what do I do? Our state is requiring that an enormous amount of resources be put toward this "law" without the first idea of what it means and how it is ruining our kids' education! I am extremely concerned and I have been saying so for over a year with little to no response from anyone. I feel like people are just following the herd - like they've just given up and feel they are doomed to state oversight and WORST practice in education as opposed to best practice. I would hope that those who subscribe to this listserv are the professionals that could actually do something about this. It won't happen if we just moan and groan - teachers pointing fingers at administration and administrators pointing fingers at the state. What are people out there really doing about this?!?!?!?!
