Consider the district Coleman represents. Yes, I think the conversion to charter school is one of its purposes.
My post concerns the article in today's paper about the ACLU and the APS Alternative School. Its not unusual to place EBD kids in an alternative school if a principal does not support special ed. of EBD kids. Have you visited a middle school lately? It is assumed a child who misbehaves throughout elementary school will change their behavior because of the presence of middle school security. Remember when Gwinnett tried sending these kids through the juvenile system and were stopped by the threat of lawsuits. I read the comments on 'Who should run our school systems'. Those kids whose parents don't involve themselves with the school will be the ones left in the classroom. If their teachers stress behavior management in this classroom the ACLU will step in. I've talked to teachers, most always they tell me if two or three kids were taken out of their classrooms, the remaining students would learn more. SOS.
