[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, the ability to counsel out kids is a major factor here -- if all schools could get "rid" of their special ed and troublesome students, scores would climb demonstrably. You CANNOT discount this.[/quote] I don't understand, in this age of bountiful special Ed money, why schools are allowed to counsel out any kids at all. Get them paras, put them in a separate class with a lot more support (that's what our NYC Ps did and it worked). I know a lot of the counseling out is informal, and "unofficial" (the charters in NYC do this too); but if a certain percentage of families are leaving, it should trigger some kind of investigation.[/quote] IT DOES!!! DCPCSB monitors it month by month. However, special ed money is not 'bountiful' -- the amount provided for a special service provider doesn't cover the prevailing rates in this city, or many others.
