For-Profit Schools Continue To Skimp on Special Education: A Response to Naomi Zigmond.

Ramanathan, Arun K.; Zollers, Nancy J.

Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n4 p284-89 Dec 1999

Critiques a November 1999 "Kappan" article praising one charter school's special-education program, arguing that most Massachusetts for-profit charter schools receive funding for disabled students whom they refuse to serve. These schools have excluded, counseled out, mistreated, and withheld needed services from numerous students with complicated disabilities. (Contains 19 references.) (MLH)
