An Opinion On “Wealthy Seek Special”

patricia azarcoya arce

Dear Ms. Martinez,

Would you please stop blaming the parents and advocates for the many shortcomings and failures of the DOE to provide ALL children with a qualifying disability a free and appropriate public education as guaranteed under the federal law IDEA and its progeny in state law and regulation?!

As an elected parent member of The Citywide Council on Special Education (CCSE) and the mother of a public middle school student with an IEP for learning disabilities, I must object to your article in the WSJ today, Wealthy Seek Special-Ed Cash. Not only here but also in other recent articles — Klein Loses on a Charter (WSJ 8/14/10), and Private-School Tuitions Burden DOE (WSJ 7/10/10) — you betray so little understanding of special education history, policy and practice in the NYC public school system and so great a reliance on DOE sources that your work could hardly be called news reporting. It’s indeed stunning how quickly your editors at the WSJ have succumbed to the low journalistic standards observed at FOX News and the NY Post that are also controlled by your paper’s new owner, Mr. Murdoch’s News Corp.

I urge you to get better informed and to broaden the universe of your sources. You can start by attending the next calendar meeting of the CCSE which will be held at MS 51 in Park Slope, Brooklyn on September 16 starting at 6 pm. The featured topic for this meeting will be Phase 1 of the DOE’s latest and most radical special education reform initiative to date which will be addressed by a panel composed of the following senior officials from the DOE and UFT as well as a representative from the city’s leading coalition of special education advocates.

Carmen Alvarez, Senior VP for Special Education

The United Federation of Teachers

Maggie Moroff, Coordinator

The ARISE Coalition/Advocates for Children

Laura Rodriguez, Deputy Chancellor

NYC DOE Division for Students with Disabilities and English Language Learners

Saskia Thompson, Deputy Chief Schools Officer

NYC DOE Division of School Support and Instruction

I will forward to you our official meeting notice/agenda once same is finalized.

Yours truly,

Patricia Connelly

Treasurer, The Citywide Council on Special Education

Will Ashley and Joe’s Relationship get to the aisle?

Celebrity love relationships are common but history has proved that they have face many challenges and are often the cause of many celebrity controversies. Taking Rihannas relationship with Chris Brown for example, at first it was like they were riding on cloud nine but it they later ended up slitting in no talking terms due to Brown’s physical abused to Rihanna. Eminem’s alleged relationship with Mariah Carey also followed the same tune as it is reported that they were together for a few months and thereafter everyone went their own way. But things did not end just like that, the artists developed so much hate towards each other that they went ahead to compose songs that criticized the other and it is rumored that that is how Mariah for instance came up with the track ‘obsessed’. On the other hand, not all of them are bound to fail as the famous rap star Jay-Z was able to marry his long time girlfriend Beyonce, who also happens to be a leading artist. ashley greene and Joe Jonas have now become the center of attention to everyone as the two seem to be pretty unbreakable. It has been reported that ashley greene has been accompanying Joe in many of his concerts and they have been seen together a lot. The two seem to have really fallen for each other as Joe Jonas has even been rumored to have removed his purity ring. For those who have good memories, it was this very guy that in 2008 said that he does not support intimate relationships outside marriage and will not get himself to any until he marries. Some people have even joked that he was a small boy then and now that he has matured, he has to face reality. Others claim that it was just a publicity stunt. Whatever he was doing isn’t important, the important thing is if their relationship will stand the test of time.

The Magic Man

When you order plastic name badges from a company, sometimes you don’t know who you are ordering from. The good thing about this company I found online is that they have someone who is amazing at what they do. I asked a question on the Live Chat and he ended the chat with Magic Man Out. I kind of just giggled and placed my order. When I got the order in the mail a few days later I was amazed on how good of a job they did. I guess they really do have a magic man working there who is very good at what he does.

Funny Stuff

Right before New Year, I was having such a rough time with my marriage—it was something that really burdened me and I was really depressed.  Because it was a holiday season, I was torn between confronting my husband about it and waiting for the right moment to open it up to him.  My sister in law who was in town for a holiday visit sensed something was wrong and she talked to me about it.  It was a relief to be able to talk it out—to unburden myself of so many confusions.  I really felt good plus she cheered me up with some funny stuff.  I was glad that she lent me her ears and her shoulders.
