My Spanish teacher recently got to go on a Mexican news station, and talk about educational budgets. One of his ideas was that Special ed. is ruining the budget. He stated that rectifying poor learning from elementary school and from middle school should not be a task that falls to the high school teachers, and furthermore, there shouldn't be classes meant specifically to help those to far gone to cope with the real world, a.k.a. special education. He stated that to fix the budget problems, we should take all funding form special ed., who, by the way, get more than 15 times the amount of money allocated to them than you and I, simply because they can't spell for shit, or because they are too damn add to sit in their seats. With all this money that has been taken from the lost causes of America, about half of it should go into Elementary schools, so that they don't develop the problems in the first place. Then, that got me thinking. Why do we have special ed.? Why should the tax payers with normal children have to foot the bill for those who cannot be helped? What dose it accomplish to give the "retards" so much money, simply so that they can learn that two plus two doesn't equal five, and that they are special, but not to worry about it, because everyone is different. It sickens me. If they look all the money from them, and distributed it to the kids who have a chance, those who really matter, then we wouldn't be so damn screwed for money, because we aren't spending all that on worthless children who are gonna live in a government funded institute for the rest of their lives. Did you know that the government mandates schools to accommodate all children who request an aid to follow them to all their classes? And guess who pays for those aids. Average tax payers, who are basically giving their money away to strange people to follow drooling idiots around and make sure they aren't picked on. Dose that sound fair to you? If we didn't give special treatment to lost causes, but instead focused on those who matter, then the world could be a better place. If you are going to tell me that I'm a horrible person, then bring it on.
