Many people always assume that only special needs students go to alternative schools when it's not true. Isn't it against the "least restrictive environment" to send special needs students to the alternative school? Shouldn't they go to a special school since it meets their needs? Alternative schools don't support special needs students well. They don't have speech or self-contained classes. What kind of parent would send their own special needs child to the alternative school that doesn't even meet their needs? The special school would be more appropriate.
I thought alternative schools were schools that were nontraditional. I thought they provided a choice for students. Students aren't forced to go to alternative schools. It's something that they chose hence the name.
You are correct with your statement that parents with a special needs child should NOT send their child to an alternative school.
Alternative schools are for those children that are at an impass and the public school system is looking for a way to put that child out of their school system. They explain it to the parents as a "way of helping their child" when in reality, it helps them…the school. The school will earn an A grade because they have less "special education" students in their school, who may not pass all the state tests…ie: FCATS.
Special needs students should be placed in the public schools and have IEPs in place that met all the childs individual needs, as documented by their parents, teachers, physicians and social workers, physical therapist, speech therapists etc.
Great question. Blessings, Patti

What I’ve Done Linkin Park Alternative
This is the video “What I’ve Done” by Linkin Park with an alternative intro that I made for it. No particular reason, just bored…
I LOVE LINKIN PARK SO MUCH.
I just read the copyright notice, and I don’t have permission from Linkin Park (I WISH!).
Look I’ll buy the album May 15th. If there’s a problem, you can take the video down. This was basically for fun, and I liked it…Enjoy!

Stage 4 Cancer - Cure Stage 4 Cancer
By Jonathan G. Michel
Whether it be stage 1,2,3 or 4 of almost any type of cancer, they are all reversible through alternative medicine.
Case in point, take the doctor who told his patient (another doctor), a stage 4 brain tumor dying doctor, “that as far as I’m concerned, you’re a dead man”, when this dying doctor requested his medical records. This doctor who had been given only two months to live, still lives today totally free of cancer for over 45 years, after being treated with alternative medicine.
How many success stories involving any stages of cancers of any types, must one have to read or hear about, before one finally decides to take action? What the heck is stopping people, you, from listening? It can’t be money since money is definitely not worth your life. It can’t be money, because it takes no or very little money…So what is it?
Especially, when you know that the only reason you got cancer to begin with is due to malnutrition, toxins, parasites, and other contaminants, too many to mention, dating back to hundreds of years but more rampant since the Second World War because government thinking they were doing a good thing, made food cheaply available. They didn’t know it then, but this was the beginning of a growing health problem.
Stage 4 cancer is when the primary tumor spreads to other organs in the body. About 30 years ago, I came across an interesting story, which I’ll remember forever, and vowed this is what I would do if ever I was diagnosed. The man had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and had been given about 2-4 months to live. With nothing better to do, he decided he would pass time by tendering to his garden. Having no real desire for food or drink, he began snacking on his naturally grown vegetables straight from the garden (not washed, just removing the dirt).
The man didn’t even bother with doctors’ visits for pain killers. As the days went by, he noticed his pains were subsiding. Thinking nothing of it, he continued his daily tendering of his garden and one day realized that he had surpassed his appointed time and no longer felt pain. He went to his doctor, and following tests and scans, the doctors couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The stage 4 cancer had totally disappeared. No traces of any cancer anywhere. That was a stage 4 cancer people…cured with naturally grown vegetables.
Which brings me back to the patient, who didn’t give up and chose the alternative way, besides the negative statement by his treating physician. Again, how many times must you hear true stories before you take action on your cancer?
