Your school experience was like mine, except that fewer kiddos with disabilities attended public school in those days.<br /><br />JimJim Gerlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482331907215552507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691205078500083881.post-62904722027897471552010-06-27T22:07:19.646-04:002010-06-27T22:07:19.646-04:00This is very interesting, this reminds me of how t...This is very interesting, this reminds me of how things were in my high school. Our students with disabilties were required to attend gym class but none really partcipated, however I feel as if they had more actvities and it was actually planned out just for them then they could have been alot more involved. So it is nice to see the government is actually trying to get these students active.K.Lawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691205078500083881.post-3955053397432414262010-06-26T18:10:40.909-04:002010-06-26T18:10:40.909-04:00Thanks ASET,

I actually designed and implemented a Physical Education Program in a for profit Alternative Therapeutic Day School. <br />Before I came there was ping pong, cards, sometimes basketball, I was told the students where only required to have PE 3 hours a week. The school's yearly profit on this students was approximately $500,000 dollars a year!<br />There appears to be less legal perimeters placed on the alternative private schools than the public schools. The one I worked at for two years was owned and run by and MBA. Hum- did any of the students return back to their home schools? No, they never do once they are sent into the alternative system.<br />DMAdvocate Special Ed Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071634678775264180noreply@blogger.com
