Ya, the Special Education mandates ,all because there are so many behavioral problems with undisciplined kids who disrupt a normal class room making it difficult for all to learn.

We pay $20,000 a year to send each special ed students out of district to be educated. While some students have legitimate problems, most have behavioral problems because of problems at home.


My son teaches Special Ed students and is lucky to get 2 parents out for back to school night. Busts his chops trying to teach and help these kids.

The $$ are being provided, it's the kids behavior and parents disinterest in their kids schooling that is causing most of the problems.
