Even as CPS opens more new schools, children with special needs have a tougher time finding options. Placements in private therapeutic schools are scarce, and some charters are reluctant to enroll them.

For Once, The Tall Black Guy <u>Isn't</u> The One From AUSL
By: Alexander Russo / September 24, 2009
The folks at AUSL were kind enough to send along this picture of one of their folks in DC last week. Apparently, AUSL is going to help Chicago get the Olympics. Another reason to like or hate them.
They even provided a helpful caption: "Rob Harman, wrestling
coach at the Academy for Urban School Leadership’s Howe School of
Excellence, with President Barack Obama at the White House Wednesday for a
rally supporting Chicago’s 2016 Olympics bid."

We all know that Chicago 2016 is not using children for their bid effort. That would be too manipulative and crass, right? (Because one day we were supposed to be for the bid because of civic pride, then, after that wore off, it was because of jobs and economic benefits, and seems to be about kids and youth sports, if there is a surplus, which we may find out in seven years. It may be smarter to buy a lottery ticket than wait for that...)

To clarify, I was invited to the White House last week as part of a group of youth coaches from Chicago. In March, the Howe wrestling team, in its first year, won the city championships. We've got a group of inspirational kids who live in a high-crime, high-poverty area who are overcoming unbelievable obstacles and succeeding. As a result, we were chosen by Chicago 2016 to be a part of a short movie for our Olympic bid.
