Lynn Lapthorne [Signature #195] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3050638?utm_medium=rss I believe the private school of Bridgeway Academy has accomplished more in the past two years than all six years in public school for Mitchel Adams. If those who believe that he can just go back to public school and continue with no problem they are sadly mistaken.
The funds that allow our children to attend public school should follow those who have learning difficulties to private schools that specialize in those fields. If the same child was in public school their way would be paid, do it!

He's an amazing young man, who's quality of life, self esteem and potential has improved dramatically because of Bridgeway Academy. And thank God for his loving parents who have been been willing to fight to educate the power's that be. To ignore the facts at this point would be making a choice to ignore the children. I don't believe we can do that anymore, and live with ourselves.

Having attended for three years now, attempting to play "catch up" for those three years, having fallen behind grade levels in public school even while assigned an IPP, our son does not qualify for continued tuition support. This Tuition Transfer is not a "program" as has been promoted. It is simply a transfer of funds from public education to a school which is prepared to teach children with learning disabilities "full time".

Please don't remove tuition support until all parties are certain the public system can give the same quality of education provided by the private schools, without putting
added stress on public school teachers who aready deal with large classes and a number of children with behaviour and learning challenges. I hope part of the long-term plan is hiring more specially trained educators to supplement the classroom teachers and provide one on one help for children who need it

It is absolutely ESSENTIAL to have an option to allocate the funding to educate a child (with a learning disability) in public school to a specialized school that already has a successful plan, with low class-size ratios, and specialized staff and programs to successfully adapt and teach these students the way they learn - NOT just for a limited time period of three years BUT until they are ready to return to public school.

This is essential for children with special needs.

The common goal of educators and parents is to prepare our children to become successful adults. By finding alternatives, adequate resources and supportive teaching practices to sustain the mandate within our education systems, we will not have to compromise that goal and ultimately our children’s potential to succeed. It is imperative that we communicate our belief in all of our children’s potential, so that they in turn will learn to believe in themselves.
