I agree with most of what you say. Fact is there should be money made available by the government to help the truly needy. Forget spending millions on welfare programs for people that just don't want to work. Spend it on Children, adults and their families that can't help themselves.
One of the problems is that parents with disabled children truly want their children to be as normal as possible. Children with disabilities do much better when they are mainstreamed with normal children. We want to raise the bar for these children not lower it. Putting them in some substandard classroom or school is not the answer either. I don't know. Maybe your right about taking them out of the regular school system altogether. But it would cost a lot of money to do it right.
Just for the record. I am not looking for gov. handouts. But if there is anyone in this world that should get government handouts it's the children with disabilities and their families. Did you know that families that put their kids in daycare get tax breaks but people who home school their children get nothing. You can't write off books, supplies, field trips to the zoo or museum nothing. If classrooms are so crowded that teachers can't teach that many children you would think they would be very happy to have more home schooling and even encourage it.
