The podcast title caught my eye and made me want to go ahead and start following it. It concerns the reasons as to why people choose to be special education teacher and why they should go into that field. it states that special education is not a career but yet a cause. I am not sure I agree with everything they mentioned but it certainly made me think and question multiple aspects of the topic.
Children with special needs need one on one attention at times. The podcast discusses how people need to be motivated for the students not just moving up in the professional ladder. It emphasizes integrity within ones job. They are saying that sometimes teachers just do the bare minimum to get by and do not focus on the child. When a teacher does this the student is not being benefitted. It also goes over free and appropriate public education. It does not speak about private schooling which I can understand, because I feel that most people teach public schools.
In my opinion the podcast is geared more towards parents of kids with special needs. As teachers though, I feel that we should see both views; the view from the parents and the teachers. It is a teacher's responsibility to care for and work with the children just as it it the parents.
