An IDEAL School

There is no one solution for students with disabilities, since kids are all different and so are their disabilities, but here's an article about one promising approach to educating some disabled students. For those who protest that this approach would be too expensive, they ought to know that the Ontario government's special education grant is two and a half billion dollars a year. That ought to be enough to be going on with. H/T FA

Its exactly what the public education will not do for all of their students.

At Ideal - “At IDEAL we are committed to excellence for every child and our model of inclusion works. Statewide testing scores indicate that IDEAL students outperform their public school peers in both math and reading. Notably, results demonstrate that IDEAL has eliminated the subject-mastery disparity by race and ethnicity that exists in New York public schools. Further, as an independent school we have the flexibility to adapt our curriculum to the needs of our students, the ability to keep student-to-teacher ratios low, and a commitment to innovative, 21st Century pedagogy. All of this ensures our students will leave IDEAL prepared to be leaders in their communities.

Diversity. Acceptance. Excellence. These three pillars underpin The IDEAL School’s mission and are at the fore of all aspects of school life.

And I bet parents and teachers are not dealing with bad behavior, meltdowns at home and for some sleep walking as my child experienced in the early years. Oh yes night terrors….

Why doesn’t the public schools do any of the IDEAL school’s practices and policies?  Its against the public education philosophies and the values it represents.
