Stu,
a California attorney, wants to learn more about special education law
-
Dear Mr.
and Mrs. Wright,
You have
created a most admirable web page. I have surfed through the web for
many years now, but this has surely been the single most informative
and thoughtful sight I've come by. Well done.
I am writing
this in hopes of being able to obtain more information. I recently became
a lawyer. One of the fields I am interested in is educational law. However,
in talking with several attorneys in the field, I was disappointed to
find that much of their work dealt with teacher employment, contracts,
and wrongful termination. Little of their work seems to affect the lives
of children directly. As I've worked with children, a friend suggested
that I examine special education law. This led me to stumble on your
web site.
I am touched
by your cause and your dedication to it.
To make
a long story short, I would like to learn more about this field of law.
I hope that you can make some recommendations about to how I can get
started.
Are there
any legal organizations in the Bay Area of California where I might
volunteer my time?
What other resources are there to find out more information?
How can I get involved in working with special education rights?
No doubt
you are busy enough through the day. I thank you sincerely for taking
the time to read this.
Kindest
Regards,
Stuart
Marnie, a teacher, felt affirmed when she read Bill Matthew's letter-
Thanks
for printing Bill Matthew's letter.
It reaffirms
my belief, as a teacher, that plenty of us do care about doing our jobs.
There are, I
believe, many more good school districts than poor. Reading some
of the websites
can skew one's view of what is really out there.
You did
a service to the many conscientious special educators in public school
districts around
the country.

Paula, a parent from Michigan, sent us compliments!
Dear Pam
and Pete,
I just
found your web site this morning--and find myself wishing it were a
snowy winter day so I could sit here until the kids came home from school
and read all of it! The article about writing letters is really really
good!
The site
is easy to use. I can't wait to digest all the information that is there!
Again,
thanks for all the work you put into the site, and the work you have
chosen to do with your lives!
Sincerely,
Paula
