Special education should not be publicly funded.

I guess you need to talk to God about too many handicapped people.

It's an observation, not an indictment. God has been summarily kicked out of our schools, so he's not a factor.

If we don't have enough money to properly educate normal kids, where is the money coming from for the handicapped kids? Do we have an educational triage situation here?

It isnt the lack of money, it's the way we spend it.

Put aside inner city schools. They are lawless hellholes where kids are the district breadwinners, not students to be taught. I dont know how to fix them.

In suburban districts like mine, Sped kids' learning is forced to take a backseat to compliance with burdensome, restrictive, and sometimes contradictory state and local regulations.

I won't go into detail in this thread. Maybe I'll start a thread. The three biggest obstacles are:

1. "Least restrictive environment" which means not putting special kids in special classes until they are hopelessly behind their peers.

2. "Individual education plan" which means a new plan for a special kid's education is created annually and update throughout the year. Special ed teachers are forced to spend large chunks of their workweek drafting, updating, disseminating, and ensuring/documenting compliance these plans.

3. "High stakes testing." Detrimental to special kids in too many ways to pick a few highlights.

Not every public service is for everyone. If you are gluten free and the food pantry has only regular pasta, you’re shit out of luck.

food pantrys are private not public,,

We have too many handicapped people. They'll break the bank.

So, what do you suggest, extermination?
