The Schools That Vouchers Built View Printable Format (Also enter "Subscribe" to receive free Biweekly Updates) Lies About School Choice By Jeanne Allen Most education special interests, like the National Education Association (NEA), do not have the interests of children first and foremost in mind. Their leaders scorn any plan to expand the choices of parents beyond the school to which their children are assigned. Despite enormous growth and power in the 1980s among anti-choice education leaders and lawmakers, those groups that continue to oppose this popular tide of school reform, are finding it more and more difficult to win. With growing support for and participation in choice programs, it is hardly surprising that the opponents of reform have accelerated their attacks on educational choice. The criticisms against choice constitute nine broad categories. Here are rebuttals to three major ones. Lie #1: Choice will leave the poor behind in the worst schools.

English Language Education for Children in Public Schools Summary: Requires that all public school instruction be conducted in English. Children not fluent in English shall normally be placed in an intensive one-year English immersion program to teach them the language as quickly as possible while also learning academic subjects. Parents may request a waiver of these requirements for children who already know English, are ten years or older, or have special needs best suited to a different educational approach. Normal foreign language programs are completely unaffected. Enforcement lawsuits by parents and guardians are permitted. Text: Findings and Declarations The English language is the national public language of the United States of America and of the state of Arizona. It is spoken by the vast majority of Arizona residents, and is also the leading world language for science, technology, and international business, thereby being the language of economic opportunity; and Immigrant parents are eager to have their children acquire a good knowledge of English, thereby allowing them to fully participate in the American Dream of economic and social advancement; and The public schools of Arizona currently do an inadequate job of educating immigrant children, wasting financial resources on costly experimental language programs whose failure over the past two decades is demonstrated by the current high drop-out rates and low English literacy levels of many immigrant children.

Journal of American Indian Education Volume 29 Number 1 October 1989 THIRTEEN MOST COMMON NEEDS OF AMERICAN EDUCATION IN BIA SCHOOLS Glenn I. Latham The milieu of Indian education remains the object of inquiry by educators, historians, social scientists, and the Federal Government, to name a few (Szasz, 1983; Latham, 1985). Facilities, curriculum, training, recruit retention, TABLE 2 The Distribution of Interviews By Subjects Subjects Number of Interviews Administrators Superintendents Principals (including assistants) Teachers Support Staff Psychologists and Counselors Teacher Aides Students (fifth grade and above) Parents TOTAL From these observations and interviews, 13 persisting instructional and management needs emerged. Following is a detailed discussion of each of the 13 needs. Findings 1. The need to increase the academic engagement of students. In total, the data suggest that less than one half of a student’s day is spent on instructional tasks. Add to this the time lost to non-attention during instruction, one can conclude that during an entire school year, students in BIA Education programs are academically engaged only about one-third of the time intended for instruction. (See Figure 1). 2. The need to appropriately challenge students relative to academic performance and behavioral compliance.

TEXT VERSION Access, Achievement And Accountability Matter Most by Lisa Graham Keegan Education Leaders Council A Lisa Graham Keegan s the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education continues its critical task of examining IDEA and other special education policies, there are some who will try to convince the commission that it will do irreparable harm to IDEA if it recommends any changes to the program other than increased funding. Still others will likely argue that any changes to IDEA would be an affront to the ideals embodied in the Act, and that anyone who advocates reforming the program lacks a commitment to disabled children. Nonsense - and any of us who have had to live and work within the program know better than that. We know that what matters most in special education are three underlying principles that have been at the heart of the IDEA program since its inception: access to education, ensuring that special education students make academic progress, and holding the system accountable for each of these services. Funding is an inherent part of each of these principles, to be sure, but we do a great disservice to special education and special education students if we base policy solely on the issue of funding.
