[QUOTE="bystander, post: 33190, member: 3614"] KJS: Yes, what you describe is NOT uncommon in charter schools. Ours however; perhaps it is the law in NJ, it is run [i]exactly[/i] like a local school. It has Special Education services, tenured teachers - everything you get in the district they have there. Unfortunatly, I think (obviously now) I made a BIG mistake sending him there! My son's language teacher actually had DS in language at his other school (a private K) last year. She is very involved with volunteering at this charter school. Anyway, she told me that if the school gets ahold of a parent who won't do anything with their child who obviously needs help - they then go after the parents who "will". This appears to be what's happening with us. The other child that is such a problem in class? The parents basically told the school to stick it; their son is who he is. This apparently happened 2/3 weeks ago, and this is about when the pressure was wratcheted up on us. What really stinks though is that I can't really pull him out NOW with only 9+ weeks left of school. [/QUOTE]
