This is so not true! I have a degree in art education and we maybe spent 1/2 of 1 semester going over stuff like IEP's and dealing with disabilities. I never have gone into teaching, but I can't imagine that any more "training" would have been offered (except "on the job" training, meaning trial and error!)

I was a high school French teacher for 5 years in the Chicago Public school system. I only had one class on Special Education issues and from what I understand is that that is normal for non-special needs teachers. Now specifically special ed teachers have a lot more training and classes to deal with the varying degrees of the special needs students. The reason I am considering homeschooling is the one-on-one factor which is a lot more effective than 28-35:1 ratio.
