Extractions: MAY 11, 2001 current issue back issues subscribe By JULIA GOLDMAN At its most basic, a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony asks that a child be "called up" to the Torah to recite a blessing before and after the biblical text is chanted. But for those with disabilities, nothing is basic: not the physical act of approaching the Torah or reciting the blessings, nor the intellectual challenge of the preparation. For them, acceptance as full, adult member of the Jewish community has an added significance. A bar or bat mitzvah ceremony shows "they are not limited emotionally and they are not limited spiritually," said Judith Edelman-Green. As national director of special education for the Conservative movement in Israel, Ms. Edelman-Green in the past six years has helped bring up to the Torah over 1,000 children with developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy and autism. Some of the those in Ms. Edelman-Green's program cannot walk, some breathe with the help of respirators, others cannot speak at all. One bar mitzvah boy, Yigor, "recited" the blessings before and after the Torah reading by guiding a pointer along the text with his chin. "Anything that works," Ms. Edelman-Green said. The Masorti movement, as Conservative Judaism is known in Israel, is not alone in its outreach to disabled children. The Orthodox and Reform movements have established programs and summer camps in the United States for children with special needs. Throughout communities in Israel, individual families, congregations and schools provide similar religious training.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Handicapped and Gifted Children Reston VA. Serving the LD Student in a Vocational Education Classroom. 1984 Digest, Revised. Learning disabled students may have difficulties with academic tasks such as reading and writing. Following directions and understanding lectures may be hard for them. As a general rule, they forget more often than other students. They may learn how to sand wood one day, but forget by the next day. In class, they may appear restless and inattentive. Sometimes they will fail to focus on their task. In PUZZLED ABOUT EDUCATING SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS, Lloyd Tindall describes a typical learning disabled student: We are in a vocational agriculture classroom in late March as the instructor explains how to prepare a cornplanter for spring planting. A cornplanter from one of the student's farms is in the shop awaiting preparation. The instructor asks the class to read a section of the cornplanter manual silently. Tom reads for about a minute and then starts bothering the student next to him. After being asked to continue reading, Tom reads for another 30 seconds and again bothers his neighboring classmates. The instructor asks the students to list the necessary tasks on paper. Tom has trouble listing the essential tasks. He cannot identify the essential tasks to be performed. His thinking appears to be disorganized. His handwriting is poor. Some of his letters are reversed: a "b" replaces a "d". He has skippped words. We also observe that Tom is easily distracted by noises outside the classroom. He does not seem to have the ability to tune out even minor distractions.
More Choices For Disabled Kids - Policy Review, No. 112 of the liberal activist group wisconsin Citizen Action take a certain percentage of disabled students, adds services for children with special education needs http://www.policyreview.org/APR02/andrews.html
Extractions: By Lewis M. Andrews (Go to Print Friendly Version) f the opponents of school choice could have their way, the national debate over the use of public money to subsidize private schooling would turn on the subject of special education. With research demonstrating the overall success of school voucher programs in Milwaukee and Cleveland, and with the constitutional issue of public funding of religiously affiliated schools headed for resolution in a seemingly God-tolerant Supreme Court, defenders of the educational status quo have been reduced to fanning fears that government support of greater parental choice would transform public schools into dumping grounds for difficult-to-educate students. Rethinking Schools naacp Seventeenth Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act , over The argument that school choice must inevitably create special education ghettos would appear to have been strengthened by the recent adoption of market-based education reforms in New Zealand. In the late employees with a new Ministry of Education staffed by only people and putting each local school under the control of a community board of trustees. At the same time, the government abolished school zoning, allowing children to transfer freely between schools, even to private schools, at state expense.

What's Wrong of elementary and secondary education in wisconsin. numbers of children with special needs, children who Categorical aids for disabled children and children http://my.execpc.com/~waef/problem.htm
Extractions: What's Wrong With Wisconsin's School Financing Even though Wisconsin's Constitution calls "...for the establishment of district schools which shall be as nearly uniform as practicable...," the Association for Equity in Funding believes there are three main reasons why the schools are not uniform. Disequalizing factors in our school finance system continue to increase and it is difficult to understand how children can receive an equal opportunity for a sound basic education when districts are becoming less uniform. Those disequalizing factors need to be revised or eliminated in order to make schools more uniform and enable all districts to provide an equal educational opportunity. Variation in Local Property Wealth Throughout the state there is a wide variation in the amount of public funds invested to educate our children and in the property tax rates paid by property owners to support public schools. Complete Annual School Costs (CASC) budgeted in 2001-2002 ranged from $7,001 in Raymond #14 to $15,143 in Boulder Junction J1 with a state average of $9,227. Property tax rates ranged from $2.91 in Gibraltar to $15.17 in Juda per thousand dollars of valuation, with a K-12 average of $10.04. To illustrate the impact of the variation, the district with the highest property tax rate in the state, Juda, also happens to be well below average in property wealth. The lowest property tax rate, $2.91, was levied by the Gibraltar School District the wealthiest district by far. Both were relatively high spending districts, more than $10,000 per pupil each (Gibraltar spent $11,413 per pupil while Juda spent $10,136). But the Juda property owners had to tax themselves at $15.17 mills or more than 5 times the rate paid by Gibraltar taxpayers in order to invest 89% as much in its children.

Extractions: Archive Index By Jay Bullock The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) re-authorization in 2002, more commonly known as the No Child Left Behind Act (NLCB), was supposed to have been one of the triumphs of bipartisanship. Imaginethat most liberal of liberals, Teddy Kennedy, standing side-by-side with that most idiotic compassionate of conservatives, George (the W stands for Whopper!) Bush, as the federal government pledges, once and for all, to get a full handle on accountability and achievement in our nation's public schools. What a load of crap that is.
