Florida Teacher's Union Continues Fight Against School Choice Low Income Scholarships

WASTING MONEY IS WHAT I SEE. 

Public Tax Dollars should absolutely be used for a Free Appropriate Education aka FAPE! If that means at a Private School then everyone should be asking WHY are Students going to Private Schools?

We are all TAX PAYERS! - If my Local Public School District doesn't want / refuses to Academically Educate my child because the District Admins, Principals & Teachers all think it's still AOK in 2015, to DISCRIMINATE & SEGREGATE (SECLUDE & RESTRAIN) so many ESE Students into often times Non-Academic ESE ONLY Classrooms, then there goes a large population of students NOT receiving FAPE!

The Teachers Unions & Districts today seem to only care about protecting their own, the teachers, not the students it seems anymore.

To automatically place students into ESE ONLY classrooms, without Camera's and to see that the Districts continue to rehire or shift disciplined bad teachers to another school or into another district, is shameful. That puts more & more Students (ESE especially) at risk for Abuse and/or worst to go YEARS without an Academic Education!!

ALL Students ~ EVERYONE are entitled to FAPE!

Stop wasting your union money with fighting this battle and maybe focus on making sure there are good (great, quality, wonderful, caring, flexible, happy, certified, etc.) teachers in ALL Classrooms!

Protect our Children's Right to A Free Public Education for All Students.

Senator Gardiner like our family, is raising a child with Down syndrome. For our children to be successful in life, a good education is a must! Sen.Gardiner said, 
"(SB 850) that also creates "personal learning accounts" for special-needs students and abolishes "special diplomas" -- a priority of incoming Senate President Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando, who has said the diplomas are worthless and wants universities to instead work to develop better technical training.

"That's pretty important to me," Gardiner said.

Thank you, Senator Gardiner for standing up for what should already be for our Children with Down syndrome and students with UNIQUE ABILITIES! YES!!! This is such an important Law for so many people!!
