No youd be doing it all the time, and once again an unsupported claim this time about the DOS, and its agenda. They only financially support DOS schools which is a small minority of elite schools, which in the overall international school world, amount to very, very little. Pushing SPED at a handful of schools amounts to nearly zero globally. Once again its just you saying your right, because your you.

It may or may not be the largest, just because they say so on their welcome page doesnt make it true. Even so their claim is largest SINGLE campus school, or largest AMERICAN school, thats different then largest school in Asia....

That big of a LS department I dont buy (my high school back in the states was over 4,000 and our SPED department wasnt that big). According to their own website they have the following number of special ed teachers.
If you really want to look them up go to their faculty and staff directory (http://www.sas.edu.sg/page.cfm?p=728) and search by department Lets add those up:

1) Resource (5): SPED primary teachers
2) Special Services (6): SPED high school teachers
3) Perceptual Motor/Perceptual Motor K (2)
4) RLA Support (6): Intermediate School
5) Math/RLA Support (1): Intermediate School
6) Grade 6 Resource (3)
7) Grade 7 Resource (2)
8) Grade 8 Resource (2)
Total: 27

Thats it, 27 SPED teachers out of 416 which is 6% of staff. Thats a bit short of 31 special ed teachers you quote. While thats notable and far more then most schools world wide given its size its not any bigger then other elite international schools.

They also make reference in numerous places that they do not provide SPED service to the level as those required under USA law. They also do not curriculum modification (http://www.sas.edu.sg/page.cfm?p=454)

Im getting tired of pointing out all the times your wrong from France, to ISS's recruiting. You havent been right about anything.
