I was very gratified to be recognized as one the 50 Best Blogs for Special Education Teachers. My intent in writing this blog is to provide resources, commentary, opinion, humor and to tell the truth as I see it. Some of my comments are and will be critical of teachers, administrators, state and federal officials, and school systems. All systems and individuals are far from perfect and in the process of criticism and commentary things change and develop. I have stated repeatedly that I do not mean to malign every person working in the system, as there are far more dedicated individuals than those deserving criticism. This recognition signals to me that I am accomplishing my purpose in writing this blog. I appreciate the recognition!
Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition, Charlie!
Your column does not malign educators as a group, but certainly you have encountered a number of individuals whose practices have created a need for your services. Your blogs are full of good advice and insight that is of value to special educators just as it is to parents, and surely that is why you've landed on the 50-Best list. Hope this recognition inspires you to share even more!
