ASR's Violations of Massachusetts Education Law
RobertBruce:
Or ASR needs to stop pretending they have less than 30% of their population being classified as special needs and get the proper license.
Any way you look at this Cindy, ASR has been trying to get away with something. Dont feel too bad, it worked up until now.

I just think it's funny that he was at it all day and all night and all day again trying to get out of the fact that ASR is classified by the state as a Special Education School and that the state says that, although this is ASR's legal classification, they don't meet the minimum requirements that even the worst schools in Massachusetts meet every day.
It's interesting to note that not even the usual pro-ASR parents will throw their lot in with this nutbag. He's all alone on this crazy rant...

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---More or less, it's the state's way of saying "This is what this place represented itself to us to be, but we can't approve it because they don't meet muster."
That should be enough for any parent to keep away...

Exactly, they are a hybrid school inbetween a private boarding school and a school that provides therapy. The state doesnt have a category for them, they are not approved as a special education school so the regulations do not apply.
The state nneds to get thier butt in gear and define the regulations for TBS's

Who boy,
Hybrid school my arse. They, like HLA and all the rest, are first and foremost, 'treatment' facilities, with an secondary academic component, because the latter is required by law. You know this, as you stated that the academics provided at ASR weren't important to you.
The state already has regs for residential treatment facilities. Those regs are just fine, if anything, too lax.
Now, why don't you actually read through them and post the ones you don't think ASR would like, err, that wouldn't "add value" to ASRs 'treatment' facility.

The rest of us think it is funny that you cant back up your words ", they don't meet the minimum requirements that even the worst schools in Massachusetts meet every day..
This is why many posters here on fornits have no credibility because all the statements made here have no facts behind them. We have concluded that ASR is a hybrid school that doesn’t totally meet the requirements of a private boarding school, mental facility, RTC, special ed school. It meets some of each and should be classified as a TBS but the classification doesn’t exist....the state has dropped the ball on this...the school is moving forward and graduating students every year, no reason they should stop and wait for the state.
If the school was in violation they would have done something over the past 10 years, ya think?
Many Parents wont want their kids attending a state run facility anyway, the quality of service just isn’t there. Anyone who has visited a state run facility knows this.

First, 'the rest of us' you mention refers to you and you alone. There's nobody else here, just you. Haven't you noticed that nobody else supports your crazy opinions?
Second, Massachusetts public schools, even the worst of the worst, retain, as required by law, fully licensed and credentialed teachers while ASR, in contrast, retains exactly zero licensed, credentialed teachers, which in almost every single case (if not all) are cross-utilized to boot.
Which part don't you understand? I'll be happy to explain again if you have trouble grasping it: Worst of worst public schools - fully licensed teaching staff; ASR - zero licensed teachers. It's a cut and dried issue.
