Extractions: Search Rethinking Schools Help Home Special Collection on Bilingual Education California Referendum Mandates 'English-only' California Referendum Mandates 'English-only' In 1967, California Gov. Ronald Reagan signed legislation authorizing bilingual education and ending a 95-year-old state mandate that "all schools shall be taught in the English language." The bipartisan legislation passed during an era of militancy on civil rights issues and was based on evidence that English-only schooling had harmed Hispanic, Asian, and Native-American students. The 1960 Census showed, for example, that 50% of California's Mexican-American residents aged 18-24 had dropped out of school before completing the 8th grade. Now, 30 years later, a wealthy and politically ambitious California businessman by the name of Ron Unz wants to ban bilingual instruction and re-impose an English-only mandate on all state classrooms. Unz is the man behind the so-called "English for the Children" initiative that will go before California voters on June 2. The ballot measure, officially known as Proposition 227, goes far beyond the symbolism of previous English-only campaigns and strikes at the heart of public education and the right to equal educational opportunity. Further, it is part of a national backlash against immigration and, if successful, could establish a chilling precedent for other districts and states with large numbers of students who do not speak English as their first language.

Extractions: By Lewis M. Andrews (Go to Print Friendly Version) f the opponents of school choice could have their way, the national debate over the use of public money to subsidize private schooling would turn on the subject of special education. With research demonstrating the overall success of school voucher programs in Milwaukee and Cleveland, and with the constitutional issue of public funding of religiously affiliated schools headed for resolution in a seemingly God-tolerant Supreme Court, defenders of the educational status quo have been reduced to fanning fears that government support of greater parental choice would transform public schools into dumping grounds for difficult-to-educate students. Rethinking Schools naacp Seventeenth Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act , over The argument that school choice must inevitably create special education ghettos would appear to have been strengthened by the recent adoption of market-based education reforms in New Zealand. In the late employees with a new Ministry of Education staffed by only people and putting each local school under the control of a community board of trustees. At the same time, the government abolished school zoning, allowing children to transfer freely between schools, even to private schools, at state expense.

Extractions: « A joke Main Little research backs math programs » If Levi Meir Levi (also known as Levi Clancy) had stayed in public school, the taxpayers would be paying $7,000 or more a year for his education. Instead, diagnosed as "profoundly gifted," he left at the age of 7 to start college. Now 14, Levi is a junior pre-med at UCLA, where he works as a math tutor. He hopes to become a cancer researcher. He and his single mother, a part-time public school art teacher, are sueing the school district, claiming that his education costs should be covered, just as the district would have to pay for a disabled child who couldn't be taught adequately in a normal school. I think she's got a case. The complaint filed with a California superior court in Sacramento points to the state's compulsory-education law requiring "a free and equal education" for all minors until age 18. . . . The complaint says the taxpayer-funded public-school system owed Miss Levi and her son other school options and should have paid for his college costs under state law, or at least paid as much as the public-school district's yearly per-pupil expenditure. . . . "[Levi] Clancy has a fundamental constitutional interest in receiving an education that is non-discriminatory and provides for his individualized needs," the complaint states. "UCLA is capable of providing the education for him. However, neither he nor his mother can afford to pay for this education."

At a forum for families with special needs organised recently (July 24 2004) by the Universiti Malaya Centre for Family Development in Kuala Lumpur, questions were put forth in rapid-fire fashion by the participants. Representatives from the government, to their credit, answered candidly and to the point, without being evasive. There were heightened emotions occasionally. One parent declared, "As parents we set up intervention centres, form group homes. But it is not our job. "The government should take this burden off us. We parents keep taking on these functions, but when do we stop?" The comment was directed at a panel comprising a mix of government officials, NGOs and disability experts. The experts were Prof Dr Mohamad Hussain Habil from the Department of Medical Psychology at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), and Prof Dr Steven Daley from the California State University, who was also the keynote speaker at the forum.
Extractions: As the Parent of a Child With Special Education Needs, Are You Entitled to Damages? Ordinarily, a prevailing parent in an Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) court action is only entitled to a compensatory education for his/her child and is not entitled to damages, which is money awarded in order to compensate for a loss. It is important for parents to understand from the outset that damages are not recoverable, so that they have realistic expectations when filing for due process or seeking the aid of an attorney. Eight of eleven Circuit Courts have held that damages cannot be recovered for IDEA violations. Only the Second and Third Circuits allow for the recovery of damages under IDEA. The Ninth Circuit has still yet to decide the issue; however, a California District Court, which is in the Ninth Circuit, has recently ruled that parents can recover damages in IDEA actions. In Goleta Union v. Ordway, 166 F.Supp.2d 1287 (C.D. Cal., 2002), the District Court held that the mother of a child transferred to high school without having his special education or behavioral needs met or his placement checked, was entitled to damages.
