Rigor is love. Black students with disabilities deserve grade-level instruction, weekly wins, and tutoring that responds to real data. Lowered expectations protect adults. High expectations with support protect futures.
Language in Special Education is not neutral. Terms like “case manager” and “caseload” mirror the criminal justice system, not a learning community. This is a clear connection between SPED and carceral culture. I choose Advocate and Student Roster, because our students are people, not files. Change the language, change the culture.
