We used to have a Charter school in my town that specialized education for students who minor learning issues like ADD/HD or dislexia. My neighbors daughter went there and was finally excelling in school. Her acievement scores nearly doubled after 1 year attending school with other kids like her.
The school is now closed down. The problem was, that even though her and her fellow students were improving, the school was not reaching the standards of the No Child Left Behind. The school lost funding and support because it frequently got a bad school grade. When in fact in was doing great.
So what happens now? These kids get placed into regular schools and pulled out once a week to help them catch up.
Just one sad story in a million
