@BowenShanta @EducationLaw2 Yes, perfectly said! Just like the Tinker family [v. Des Moines], if you feel that strongly, go for it! But you may end up with some consequences! Above all, preserve the learning environment. #educationlaw2 @educationlaw2

@exum_john @EducationLaw2 I agree that, just like students, teachers don’t “shed their rights” when we enter school. However, we are in authority over impressionable young people so we must be careful. #educationlaw2 @EducationLaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@EducationLaw2 Tinker v Des Moines upheld the students’ right to demonstrate in a way that does not interfere with the education of anyone else; however, freedoms in school are not impenetrable. @educationlaw2 #educationlaw2

@SheaWells15 @EducationLaw2 Would you need to differentiate if you only had one child learning that subject? Also, there are support groups that I’m sure would share learning strategies. @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@EducationLaw2 I’ve never been a fan of homeschooling, but if a parent is committed to making it work, I actually think it’s pretty great. How well could you teach if you only had a few kids, rather than 30?? @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@KatieWa77518755 @EducationLaw2 But do you honestly give your education training that much credit? And can an intelligent person not find some online resources to help them learn pedagogical strategies? @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@MTeleshia @BowenShanta @EducationLaw2 I agree that these things are essential! But even in small town Cordele there are groups for these kids to learn & socialize. Also, they’re allowed to join in school sports. @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

@CortneyPhilpot @EducationLaw2 I have to point out that in the Collab text, Ch 2, they discuss how easy it’s becoming to get qualified. Is a TAP teacher really better than a parent who may also have a degree?? @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@LauraNipper3 @EducationLaw2 But to your point, IF the parent IS committed, surely they’re intelligent enough to follow a set curriculum?I wasn’t taught spec how to teach 8th gr ELA, but I figured it out. And these days there are so many online resources to help too! @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

@Rebecca34155212 @EmilyLPatrick1 @EducationLaw2 You can’t beat that kind of life experience! Also, what kinds of familial bonds are they forming, & lifetime memories? Don’t we all know many kids we teach struggle bc of NO life experiences? @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@exum_john @EducationLaw2 I agree! There’s a former teacher who’s homeschooling her 3 girls, and they are very involved in outside groups- for fun & academics! #educationlaw2 @EducationLaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@EducationLaw2 When done correctly, homeschooling surpasses “regular” school. Those kids end up doing well academically, even when they leave home for college. However, it must be done by parents who are committed to really teaching, and not just leaving the kids in charge. #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@TrentMi39734430 @EducationLaw2 Yes! I mean, who has the right, the authority, the “education” to decide that a particular student can’t learn?! Noooobody!! Great post! @EducationLaw2 #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@Rebecca34155212 @EducationLaw2 I agree! Each child can learn something! I was horrified when I read about kids being ejected from school at such young ages, before they could even really start! Can’t go back to that! #educationlaw2

[amber.sheff @ambersheff]

@EducationLaw2 I agree with this policy, esp after reading about the PARC case. Who’s to say who is or isn’t capable of learning?? Gen Ed tchrs may not see the same type of learning in those SpEd classes, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. #educationlaw2
