The accusations speak for themselves - from the Charter Board and federal government.  [/quote]

Neither of them said that BASIS can’t support special needs kids.[/quote]

Yep.  BASIS does quite well with bright, motivated SN kids.  That's why I was wondering whether PP's vehement objection to BASIS is that it only provides advanced classes and not remedial ones.

I also wonder what PP thinks about conflicting SN?  My DD with ADHD is served well at BASIS.  She can't function in classes that are too slow or where the teacher gives the smart kids independent work/ignores them while tending to the kids below grade level.  She just tunes out.  She also can't function in classes with kids who have severe behavioral issues, since it greatly impacts her focus.  So, whose rights are more important?  The intellectually disabled kid who will need the lion's share of the teacher's attention and slow down the class for everyone else?  The ED kid who will behave very disruptively and make it difficult for the other kids to focus?  Or the ADHD kid who will be incapable of learning if either of the other two kids are in her classroom?[/quote]
