This year our son has progressed by leaps and bounds because there was a program in place ready to support him. He has completely mainstreamed into a typical classroom as of this week only because of the support available to him and his teachers. Without these awesome teachers and the paraprofessionals supporting him who knows when he would have been ready for a typical class. This is one small, but important to me, example of why Prop 100 should be a big fat yes. Our schools need our support, especially for kids like mine that would really struggle with a drastic class size increase.
