[quote=jsteele]Turque is one of the best reporters at the Post. Far from striving to please his "paymasters", he is more likely to piss them off. He has actually criticized the Post editorial board (and suffered having his article butchered in response). If you have been following the charter school debate, you will know that one of the most frequent criticisms of charter schools is that they either don't enroll or get rid of challenging students. Special ed students are a prominent example of challenging students. Turque is likely seeking to show whether this criticism is justified or not. I happen to believe (on the basis of nothing more than anecdotal evidence) that some schools do act in this manner. However, I also know of charters that do a great job with students that have IEPs. I will look forward to Bill's findings on this topic. [/quote]
