<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thank you, Jean, I have major concerns about what is likely to happen to education in the United States. I have been scared this day would come, and now it’s here. Just to be clear--- I know
this is a safe space and if people disagree, they will do so respectfully.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">One concern, which has been called “family choice” by allowing public funds to go to private schools, could potentially be a huge problem. Right now private schools are not regulated or require
teachers or administrators to hold full teaching credentials. Unless private schools are regulated to ensure some quality, our children may be harmed academically and socially. Private schools are also not required to follow state standards<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Another huge concern I have is that private schools can teach children to be ashamed of their sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, and race. One of the groups I have interacted with around
banning books in schools wants to ban the book <b>Ruby Bridges</b>. When I questioned them as to why they wanted to ban this book, they said the teacher guide was problematic. First, they wanted to ban the book from libraries- I don't think teacher guides
are even available for checking out. Second, I looked at the teacher guide, and it is very good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">They can teach revisionist history with no way of anyone outside of the school even knowing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I think our students could be harmed significantly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I could go on, but I’ll leave it at that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi all—As the holiday season approaches, I’m thrilled to see that pders are giving some workshops and teaching some courses that involve SIM programs. That’s wonderful! Thanks so much for all you are doing
in your area to help the teachers and students!</span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I heard recently from Susan D’Anielo that she is working with a teacher who learned the writing strategies when she was a student, and now she is teaching the strategies to her students. Isn’t that terrific?!!
The second generation of students (and maybe the third!) is benefitting from strategy instruction. This story made my day and maybe even my month!! Please keep sending me stories!</span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Below is a document that summarizes Trump’s Project 2025 plan for education and special education. It’s very informative and has implications for our work together. Please let me know your thoughts about
it. With my best wishes and deep respect! Jean</span></p>

J. Trump said, ““I have nothing to do with Project 2025. I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it purposely. I’m not going to read it.” However, many political analysts expect those proposals will influence the in-coming presidential administration and members
of the US Congress.</span></em></p>

and parental control. Although these changes are intended to empower families and improve educational outcomes through increased choice and flexibility, they also raise important questions about equity and consistency and their overall influence on special
education services. The potential reallocation of responsibilities and funding, along with the abolition of the Department of Education, would represent a dramatic transformation in the landscape of special education in the United States.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
