Nothing is more tragic in education than the field of special education. What should be one of the most caring, impactful careers has turned into an absolute debauchery. Why, you may ask?

Special education is not so much about educating kids with disabilities but rather checking boxes for the state. IEPs, or Individualized Education Programs, are a complete waste of time, effort, and money. While meant to provide a unique outline for each student’s learning path with disabilities, they do the opposite. They define minute, pinpointed goals that are often unrelated to the student’s actual needs. Created as a legal requirement, they don’t actually help. Countless dollars are spent on meetings, lawyers, advocates, and more to produce often useless documents.

In addition, special education teachers are buried in mountains of paperwork: data, documentation, lesson plans, and more. In a field where you work with people facing major challenges, your attention should focus entirely on the person—learning their needs and skillsets. But that is not the case. Many teachers feel swamped by an overly bureaucratic system that ignores the humanity of both students and teachers. This is why there is a huge shortage of special education teachers.

@MediaSOI The fact he isn't in prison for accepting a £5 million bribe from a foreign donor and knowingly using hate speech to incite violence proves that he is either part of the establishment or the establishment are quite happy with him in charge.

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@ZiaYusufUK Did Farage attend the debate on him in Westminster or was that not important?

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@Nigel_Farage @Keir_Starmer What I don't understand is how you haven't been arrested for hate speech used to incite violence and also for accepting a 5million pound fine from a foreign donor?

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@ZiaYusufUK Yes, Farage has the moral high ground, he only used a cheeky bit of hate speech and only knew full well that riots would ensue. He can just add it to multi-million pound corruption on his charge sheet.

How noble of Mr Farage to lend his voice to the Henry Nowak debate.
Strange then that he couldn’t be bothered to attend today's Commons statement by Shabana Mahmood on the Nowak case(ordered by the Speaker after the killer's sentencing & bodycam release)🤔

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

Did Farage attend the parliamentary debate on the death of Henry Nowak today? @grok

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@zoekennedy The rich still have private schools. They are fine.

It is disgraceful that I am never allowed on the BBC. They are so biased that they only allowed me to make 38 appearances on Question Time.

Hasan Picker and Cenk Uygur were banned from the UK for criticising Genocide, Isaac Herzog was invited to No.10 for committing it.

@anon_opin Data is more important to them.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Today I attended the rape gang debate in Parliament.
In other news, here I am with someone charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm, who I described as "an important voice for young men".

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Motions concerning crime, children’s wellbeing, pensions, Northern Ireland, the King’s Speech, and even immigration have all been skipped by the Clacton MP.

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@bambibristol Anti-capitalist. If a business can run more efficiently with employees working from home then why is Farage trying to make businesses worse-off?

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@nw_nicholas I'm Sorry, I haven't a Clue

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@StevenJonMiller As long as we start with the biggest offenders that use offshore accounts, shell companies and other tax fraud.

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@AnnieBeale1 Is teaching not a job? What makes one job better at preparing others at jobs than any other? What makes teaching not a valid job?

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@littlebillie Go be a teacher and find out. Easy money as you say.

[Thom @BaxterThom]

@Nigel_Farage Did you not say it was a political impossibility? https://t.co/rh80UXD6U3
