I know you’ve heard that one before but…

I heard a rumor yesterday that the Department of Education finally sent out acceptance letters to the parents of students in Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT) classrooms on Tuesday.

This program helps bright children who have different learning styles be successful. This can be seen in report cards, test scores and other school activities. Two teachers, working together, teach and instill in their general education students and special education students that everyone can achieve and contribute as much as the brightest students to the whole.

Parents of children in CTT have been waiting to hear about middle schools. I am told that there are not enough CTT seats in District 15 and citywide and that’s part of the problem.

Hopefully the letters went out or the elementary guidance counselors get the information soon. It doesn’t seem fair that these kids have to wait when just about all the general education students have already been told.
