Opinion | When Students With Disabilities Are Removed From the ... (The New York Times)

Readers respond to an article about how some schools remove students with disabilities. Also: Old in Japan, and in America; how Donald Trump will campaign ...

He’s not about to change that modus operandi, as reflected in his insinuation the other day that Gov. Inherent in Japanese culture is the hierarchical structure of respecting elders and pride in longevity. Although the students came to the school with cognitive, social and communicative difficulties, their greatest obstacle was clearly a sense of low self-worth. Advanced directives are meaningless since they are not accepted if the outcome of refusal of treatment ends in death. Administrators have the power to remove students or dole out accommodations — not I. Hough Williams is the executive director of the university’s Program for Inclusion and Neurodiversity Education. The problem — and the opportunity for growth — lies in how we’re training and supporting that educator. The informal removal of students points to insufficient teacher training and cracks in the overburdened school system. According to recent Most teachers and principals are doing what they can within the reality of their circumstances. Even if the practice of informal removals ends, as it should, those kids will still go back to classrooms that are not fit to serve their needs. 10), about “off the book” suspensions of these students:

Beyond the Classroom: Q&A with IBM UX design co-op Liz Tremblay (University of Cincinnati)

Meet Liz Tremblay, a computer science major in UC's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Liz has worked in software engineering at retail data ...

But now that I have co-op experience, I know that I am good at what I do and I have a better understanding of what I want to pursue for my future. What has really stood out to me is how a co-op is treated in the workplace. We want to make sure you succeed — and feel right at home. Students also take a co-op class that prepares you for the job search and things like making sure your LinkedIn is up to date and ready for the career fair. You rank all of the companies you want to apply to and your resume gets sent to these employers automatically. Talk to your upperclassmen and get advice on how to leverage your experience and navigate those waters. And then take what you learn on the job and use that to better understand what you’re learning in the classroom. But once I got the interview and landed the job, it was really validating. It’s a super easy way to get exposure to other companies and an easy way for companies to find you as well. You get to take what you learn in the classroom and put that into practice at your job. A lot of students spend four years studying, and then get into the real-world and find out that it isn’t what they expected. Meet Liz Tremblay, a computer science major in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS).

We would love to hear your thoughts on this situation in the comments below, pandas, and then if you’re interested in reading another Bored Panda article featuring malicious compliance taking place in the classroom, look no further than [Focused Schools](https://www.focusedschools.com/blog/what-teachers-really-want-from-their-principal) also examined what teachers want most from their principals, and the top five things one teacher noted were: someone who works harder than her, someone who gets to know the students, someone who helps teachers get better, someone who makes difficult but right decisions, and someone who has a focused plan for the school. [EducationWeek](https://www.edweek.org/leadership/what-teachers-value-most-in-their-principals/2021/10), some of the traits that educators value most in their principals are being trusting, supportive, receptive, personable and caring. But when it comes to making decisions for the school, it’s best when both can work together to keep the best interest of the students and the school as the primary focus. “Thus, the leader must always think of the students first and foremost. “However, it’s what a strong school and our students need. [Grant Wiggins, E.D](https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/teacher-freedom/), “In few professions are novices allowed to free-lance. “Why should teaching be any different?” Wiggins goes on to ask. This is where teachers and principals can butt heads, however. They create the daily plans, and they’re on their own when teaching lessons to students.
