ReplySorry to see you stop the blogging for Patch. I have enjoyed every post you have written. I agree with you though, it does get way too ugly. I hope you will reconsider. In the meantime, I for one will miss you.

ReplyMy son had a child in his class, don't know the diagnosis exactly. But each year this childs mom came into the classroom at the beginning of the school year, brought donuts and explained to the kids how her son was different. I know it made a huge impact on my son and the way he treated this boy. Sometimes you need to teach the other kids. Its worth a try.

ReplyOnce again, Patrick, excellent article. Anyone who thinks comparing public and charter schools is apples to apples has no clue. Let us not forget that the Ohio Constitution states "The General Assembly shall make such provisions, by taxation, or otherwise, as, with the income arising from the school trust fund, will secure a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state; but no religious or other sect, or sects, shall ever have any exclusive right to, or control of, any part of the school funds of this state." Nowhere in here does it state that public education is for the poor and needy. Common schools, meaning for everyone. We have failed this part of our constitution. Thorough and efficient, and public funds for public schools. Public schools are akin to other public resources, for all. You've seen the stories of fire stations refusing to put out fires? How would you like it if it were your house. Read the Blueberry Story by Jamie Volmer http://www.jamievollmer.com/blueberries.html to understand more of what our public schools face.
