The track record has always seemed rather good.

I can't comment on these assertions, but has the school changed inthe past few months and years. National Merit Scholarship and semi- finalists don't grow on trees. Nor do exceptionaly high scores on standardized tests. Now > personally I can't imagine why anyone would object to those things, but > there you have it.

Heh. Screening takes all forms. Few public charter schools are willing to deal with extreme special needs kids and the way Arizona law is set up, they don't have to. Aside from wheelchair access andthe like, charter schools aren't required to be equiped for arbitrary special needs because, by definition, charter schools are specializing in special needs already. Most private schools operate the same way: if your child doesn't fit the curriculum or facility, then they don't modify the curriculum or the facilities to accomidate the child -- the child has to go somewhere that DOES accomidate them. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
