Yourname@libertyhaven.com Email login: Password: Search for: Books Magazines Music Maps Out of Print Books British Books British Magazines British Music Keywords: Educating the Difficult Lawrence W. Reed Whenever the issue of "school choice" comes up for discussion, somebody in-evitably will claim that the private sector can't be trusted to serve the kids who are, for one reason or another, difficult to educate. Government schools are depicted as democratic, egalitarian institutions that take on all comers, including the toughest cases. Private alternatives are alleged to be inherently elitist organizations that "skim the cream" and leave the challenging kids to their courageous and altruistic public counterparts. This perspec-tive is pure myth. The fact is that children who are troubled, neglected, learning or emotionally disabled, or otherwise have special needs are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. They need help from non-governmental sources, from people who know that you don't have to be a civil servant to be either civil or a servant. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home-schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-toeducate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private-sector body 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.

The extent to which the disability can be managed often depends upon the family's income and access to services, and parents' ability to navigate the network of services, said Jane Zehnder-Merrell, senior research associate with the Michigan League of Human Services. "I hope that this will add a perspective to some of the discussions we have been having in our state about services to children and youths with disabilities," Zehnder-Merrell said. "The question is whether these families and children are getting the services they need." Kids Count in Michigan is an annual report on the state of Michigan's children put together by the Michigan League of Human Services and Michigan's Children. It contains information from various governmental reports and programs related to children's well-being.
