A gathering spot for warriors fighting for their special-needs children

If you're one of the many who have come to the realization that your public school system is out to get away with doing the absolute minimum for your special-needs child and is not actually interested in helping or educating your child, join the crowd. Bring some passion and some factual evidence and step into the fray.

Wow. This is awkward....


Photo taken at the recent National Conference on Education in Phoenix, where these APS educators (combined salaries + benefits somewhere north of a million dollars) were singled out to show the rest of the nation how to do things right!

Pictured, left to right: Yolonda Brown, who was chosen to lead SPARK this year on the strength of CRCT scores at her former school CW Hill, scores which now seem highly suspect; Robin Hall, SRT-3 Executive Director, who was also promoted from a school that landed on the state's "extreme" list (Beecher Hill Elementary); Kathy Augustine, usually referred to as Bev Hall's hatchet-person, who likes to describe wildly improbable test scores as "outliers," and Bev Hall, soon to be the former superintendent of the Atlanta Public School system. (Over/Under on this one is June, 2010).

Read all about how they "flipped the script" (I guess that's a euphemism) to drive APS to great heights!
