NRIs (Non-reading incorrigibles) always start their public school careers not in August or September, but rather on November 16th, because November 15th is the day all schools get paid in full for the entire school year for each student who is enrolled that school whether they attend that school one more day or not.   Thus, charter schools, which can kick them out, almost always kick them out on that day when they have reached a certain age - usually ten, and the school has reached a certain intolerance for them. I am sure they have the paperwork all ready to go the evening of November 14th.  

One year we got six NRIs from the same charter school, in the same grade level, and five of their parents told us we should not put them in a class with each other.  This was a bit of a problem as they were in fifth grade, and we only have two fifth grade classes.  Unlike charter schools, public schools have to take everyone. I imagine you already knew that.  

These NRIs might not have become NRIs if they had attended an accredited public school with standards and guidelines in the first place, but unfortunately, they did not. Worse, some of their parents were not aware that the reason they were NRIs, causing the problems they were causing was due to their abject frustration that they have not learned to read or write or do math or anything remotely school-like.  If you are a child, stirring up trouble is a fantastic way to get out of class, so the students who can do things like math do not figure out that you cannot do them.  I know this, being an experienced math-despiser, who always tried to get kicked out of math class.

Keep sending us your NRIs on November 16th, you charter schools, but I think it is a travesty, and I do not see how you sleep at night. Maybe paying schools a yearly allotment for each student on November 15th needs to be changed somehow?   Paying schools their student allotments monthly instead of yearly on November 15th might eliminate this problem.
