For-Profit Charter Schools and Students with Disabilities: The Sordid Side of the Business of Schooling.
Zollers, Nancy J.; Ramanathan, Arun K.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n4 p297-304 Dec 1998
Studies the record of three companies (Sabis International, Edison Project, and Alternative Public Schools) that manage Massachusetts for-profit charter schools in serving students with disabilities. The profit motive compels even resource-heavy charter schools to limit required services, use inappropriate disciplinary procedures, segregate disabled kids, and/or counsel them out. (MLH)
