Extractions: Viewpoint on Public Issues, The Mackinac Center , October 6, 1997 Forgotten children. Troubled youth. Learning disabled. Students with special needs. Whatever the euphemism, these are children who are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. At the same time, many people think that these students can not be served well by the private sector either, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is time to lay to rest the myth that private schools are elitist institutions that "skim the cream" and leave all the toughest kids to the public schools. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-to-educate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private sector group to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation. Examples include Sobriety High in Edina, Minnesota, which educates 9th through 12th grade students in recovery from chemical dependency. The famed Boys Town, based in Nebraska, directly cares for more than 27,000 boys and girls annually in fourteen states and the District of Columbia. The Helicon Shelter Education Program, a division of Childrens Comprehensive Services, provides certified teachers, materials, curriculum, and academic recordkeeping on site at 27 emergency foster care shelters throughout Tennessee.

Extractions: Do Private Schools Serve Difficult-to-Educate Students? Janet R. Beales and Thomas F. Bertonneau, October 1997, Mackinac Center for Public Policy, 70 pps. $5.00, paper. This booklet is an in-depth research report on the institutions, programs and resources that are available to educate at-risk, disabled, and incarcerated youth. Public school districts often rely on private sector providers when they are unable to serve special-needs students. They refer these students to private schools that educate them under contract with government agencies. Who are these special-needs children? They are the abused, the homeless, the disabled, the substance abusers. Often, they require teaching that also involves behavior modification, independent living skills, or skills to help them deal with a particular disability. The providers featured in Private Schools are divided into three categories: nonpublic schools (which serve children at public expense), private-tuition schools (at parent expense), and homeschools. Boys Town USA is an example of a private institution serving children in the catchall category of "at risk." Nonpublic schools serving children in that category are available in at least 17 states, with at least seven states having formal, legislated programs enabling public schools to contract with non-public schools.

Extractions: Home Site TOC Site Search Outreach ... Summer 2003 Table of Contents By Phil Hatlen, Superintendent, Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired In this country, inclusion had its serious beginnings in the 1950s. By the end of the 1970s, it was firmly established as the most popular, most desirable educational placement for many blind and visually impaired children. This did not happen easily, and many serious conflicts caused what should have been an exciting, wonderful era in our history to be less than joyful. Most significant among these conflicts was that schools for the blind were left out of the movement toward inclusion; in fact, they were often thought to be inhibitors of inclusion. The result was years of suspicion, hostility, turf wars, and less than adequate attention paid to the individual needs of children. Even today, there are children who are receiving inadequate services, not because the services are not available, but because they are the victims of misguided philosophic differences. This applies equally to blind and visually impaired students in schools for the blind and in local schools. "Evolution" implies a gradual, steady movement. This is what has happened to schools for the blind in the U.S. Before the second half of the 20

Extractions: About one week later Chris had gotten very sick. The doctor said he might not make it. There was nothing to do for this poor little boy, but have faith. Chris was sick for several days. "Mrs. Jones, it's Christmas Eve and I don't think I can make it. I'm trying to hold on, I really am, but I have to let go." Mrs. Jones felt very sad as she put her hand in Chris's hand and said "Chris, I love you very much. You are a very tough boy. I want you to know I will always remember you. You will always be with me in my heart and dreams." It was about 6:30 p.m. when Chris let go. Mrs. Jones knew he would be safe with his family. As she was walking out the door ready to go home she heard a voice. "Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones where you going?" She turned around and ran to the bed. His eyes were open. Mrs. Jones burst into tears. "Chris, you're here." Chris told her that he was trying so hard to hold on but he let go and he saw something and he talked to it. The 'it' was God. He had told Chris that he is a good young man and the next thing he knew he was back. Mrs. Jones instantly called the doctor. They rushed over and said that he was fine - there had seemed to be nothing wrong, all but the Aids. On Christmas morning he was able to get out of bed and join the kids in a little Christmas cheer. Mrs. Jones had gotten Chris an airplane for Christmas. That was the best Christmas ever for this little boy Chris.
