Better sit down. This is not gonna be pretty.
This country and the states spend MILIONS on special education children and behavior disordered children.
Those children have every right to that money. They deserve to have the same rights as typical children have. Lord knows, they have more to deal with. You do understand the concept of "Free and Appropriate Education" right? OR is it free education only to those who meet the standards?
Most of these children will never be accountable for the money that has been spent on them. They won't be able to handle a regular job. They won't be paying taxes. THey will probably be on some type of government program for the rest of their lives.
And HOW IS THIS ANY FAULT OF THEIRS??? My son did not ASK to be Autistic. My wife and I did not say, hey let's genetically engineer a child to have major life-long health problems and completely destroy his ability to socially interact with others and lead any kind of normal life.
ALL SO THAT HE CAN HAVE SOME EXTRA ATTENTION IN SCHOOL. YEAH, SIGN US UP FOR THAT.
No my son will not lead a normal life.
No, he won't likely hold a job and he won't likely pay taxes.
He will likely be on SS Disability and other programs for his entire life.
THANKS FOR RUBBING THAT IN MY FACE.
DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT???
DO YOU THINK I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT EVERY DAY???
Try sitting down for a minute and picturing this. Try imagining what's going to happen to my son after my wife and I are gone. Will my other kids be able to care for him? Maybe, maybe not. Life isn't certain. Will they want to? I hope so. Can a relative care for him? Maybe. What if he ends up in an institution? Now do this once a day. Forever.
The government forces school districts to spend this money on them while the regular education child gets textbooks, supplies, and other things cut in their classroom.
To
***G BAD. The school district forced me to put my child in your normal school, as opposed to the specialized Autism school I wanted. Forgive me if I don't feel sorry for the typical kids.
As much extra attention as my son requires, and the extra funding, materials and teachers he has taken from the normal kids, the normal kids get one small thing he won't.
THEY GET TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE.
I know this post is going to anger many people here, but what I say is true.
No, what you say is distorted, biased and just plain ignorant. Every child in this country has a right to free education. If a child has special needs that require extra attention then so be it. If you can't understand that or accept it, then it is you who have the problem.
In the future when other countries have more intelligent people than we do, we'll realize that we have been dumbed down by rules that should be modified.
Maybe you're right. At least then, in the future, I won't have to read post like this.
ETA:
Damnit, the more I read this the madder I get.
Who the hell are you to question the money spent on special needs kids? Do you understand that the better their education is, the less likely that they will need government funding later? In other words, you spend X dollars on my son in school, and it helps him to reach the level where he can hold down a basic job. That saves more money down the road when he can avoid using government programs.
But, I guess it's better to have a second class of citizens. All men are created equal, but some are more equal than others.
, for the past two yrs she's been in regular classes. Guess what she is an AB honor role student because of the skills they gave her in the special classes and she doesn't need them now. She's not a lost cause. These special education classes aren't just set up for kids with severe disabilities but mild ones too. In often cases with the proper type of teaching and coaching a lot of the kids with mild disabilities and over come them and yes, be productive adults. 
You don't know that and neither does anyone else at this point and time.
and *politely* turned back around.
