Let me understand this. The kid is getting a free public education PLUS one-on-one attention and it’s still not enough? Let the kid’s parents pay for the assistant of their choice. I’m tired of paying for it, smelly or not.

I’m sympathetic to the parents of special needs kids, but not to the idea that the taxpayers owe them millions of dollars worth of extra care.

Depends on the nature of the disability. I know of one child that needed a nurse around her at school to clean out her trach tube at a moment’s notice. I also know of one at our local high school that requires an aide to get the child on and off the toilet as the student’s CP will not allow her to do it herself. The mind is fine, and in fact quite sharp, but the body is weak. Thus the aide

I demand my government provided 24/7 assistant too. I insist she is attractive, trained as a nurse, and nice all the time to me.
