[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's super ironic given all the actual horrible things Tyler is doing to their students that THIS is what gets news. [/quote]

What horrible things? It is a school with an extremely high percentage of at-risk children, many from very poor families with no support systems. There are behavior issues for sure, discipline, poor language used, etc. My very high HHI child is there - in a specialized program -and while the staff isn't the very best in DCPS, I don't blame them for the vast majority of the problems in the school that are entrenched but are not caused by the school. I would agree if you say the Principal is weak, the teachers either burned out or only fly-by-night TFA types, etc. But what is truly horrible in their conduct. I'm not a fan of the administration by any means but an accusation like yours should be elaborated and justified.[/quote]

They routinely kick kids with disabilities out of the spanish immersion program.  No one in the building seems to know anything about the 504 process, and the special ed coordinator stomps over families and the admin and does what she wants without regard to what's legal or even good for the child.

[b]And I should say that they did this to us despite our high priced lawyers and knowledge of the system.  I hate to see what they do to families with no legal representation or no idea of what services their child should be receiving[/b]. [/quote]

I find this hard to believe considering in legal circles, the practice of special education law against DCPS is equated with "shooting fish in barrels".[/quote]
