[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Charter supporters: which one of your schools has a life skills classroom? I'll wait. And MANY (not all, I realize) so called "highly regarded" charters have no self contained classrooms special ed classrooms at all.

If you're not going to educate all our kids, don't come at me with "it isn't fair." [/quote]

There are self contained classrooms at my charter school. Why do you think there aren’t? Which school concerns you?[/quote]

Special Ed teacher here. (have taught DCPS and Charters)

Segregated Special ed classrooms are NOT required to provide special education services, and generally not advised under most circumstances for children.  At my current charter, students with IEPs are not segregated in full-time self contained classrooms.  DCPS's self-contained segregated classrooms are rooms with 12 or less children and have multiple-grade levels in one room and receive interventions in one room; they exist with the intent of eventual integration for younger children or with documentation pipelining extreme cases toward more extensive or private placement.

The charter where I work achieves this by having more frequent pull outs for one-on one/ two on one interventions.  Every child has a general classroom enrollment and IEP goals are integrated with grade level goals. The approach is just different.  Not better or worse.  DCPS varies from school to school and does the same thing at some schools.
