Which from today's NYT at http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/nyregion/at-a-success-academy-charter-school-singling-out-pupils-who-have-got-to-go.html?_r=1&referer= http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/30/nyregion/at-a-success-a... apparently includes pushing out any students.
That is, says Brown, principal at Success Academy Fort Greene: "Some of them needed an alternative setting with highly specialized services".
You know where those (expensive) 'highly specialized' services are? Public schools.
After 19 suspensions, this both with ADHD now attends "Public School 119 in Brooklyn, where Ms. Wimbish said he was very happy and had not been suspended once."
Is it really the parents to blame? Or a 'one size fits all' discipline model that just happens to select for the easier, most compliant children?
- dalke 11y agoFFS! Did Success Academy really release the records of a 10 year old student, in all likelihood in violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, just because that student and his mother were the only ones willing to voice their complaints about the on camera?
