If you teach, administer, or are simply concerned about special education and you haven’t been following Miss Dennis’ accounts of teaching in the Bronx, you owe it to yourself to scurry on over to Your Mama’s Mad Tedious and catch up. That’s a link to her blog over there in the list on the sidebar under “blogroll.”
Earlier this year, Miss Dennis reported that she wouldn’t prepare IEPs for students whom she didn’t teach. It made sense to me (and I thought I’d put an entry here or over on Teach Effectively, but I can’t find it).
Now, Miss Dennis reports that her supervisor charged her with insubordination because of her action. The story provides a fascinating commentary on teaching special education. Just what is insubordination? When should someone agree to do something inappropriate?

John, here is the link to the original post about IEPs.

Opps. I think I misunderstood, you have the link.
Thanks! You\’re right. I have the original from Mad Tedious. I just don\’t know where I put my own observations about the original post…sigh.
