If nothing else, it seems to me that the Democrats, instead of looking for ways to cut funding for the troops, would be looking for ways to direct more of those billions towards VA-facilities woes; there are tens of thousands of US troops who need continuous care, (both mental & physical),as well as more hospitals. For God’s sake, some of our troops are having tremendous difficulties returning home after being in that hellhole called Iraq. “Suck it up” you say? Well it might be a little different than when wars meant the use of more conventional weapons. These troops are seeing people cut in half, body parts strewn throughout markets’, or being sucked though buildings or grotesquely burned, not to mention their returning to Walter Reed for ‘rehab’ because of the loss of arms, legs, feet, or having had part of their heads blown off. Not to mention the number of suicides relative to this war. Not to mention troops being asked to pay for ‘uniforms’ or boots that may have blood on them.

What Careers In Health Care Pay Better Than A Physical Therapist With The Same Amount Of School?
Feb 7
I am currently going to school for my bachelors in health science and then plan on attending a physical therapy program, but am kind of bummed that the pay is only 60-70,00 for the 7 years of schooling it takes. Is there any other 3 year post bachelor programs or careers in health care that pay better?
My 6 year old daughter with cerebral palsy, optic nerve hypoplasia, hypotonia, ect. She has physical and occupational therapy one time a week and doesn’t arrive at school that day until noon. (Doctor has ordered “early in the day, early in the week” because of hypotonia and fatigue) We are going as early in the day as we can (8:00am) and have failed to find a rehab center open on Saturday or Sunday. So school hours have become our only option.
This is doctor ordered and is imperative for her health.
Today, at our IEP meeting we were told that she would not receive special education services for that day and all missed work would be sent home. They said this is because her physical and occupational therapies are not educationally related. This is what happened last year in Kindergarten and it took my daughter 2 hours each night to finish her homework to make up the missed work. She became so stressed about school that she sees a psychologist for school related anxiety.
She fatigues very easily and does not have much energy left after a full school day. The director of the county special education department told us that the law stated that they are not required to serve her on that day, nor are they required to have a teacher help her make up the work.
Can anyone cite this law for me?
