Personally I think that is ridiculous. Of course there are other solutions. I think it would be more humane and more cost efficient to assist the families with sitters or other home health care. That is only one suggestion; but, I'm sure there are several other solutions. If a child is not really going to benefit for an "education" and will never be able to use that education for any functional purpose why would we waste EDUCATION $$$$$ on that child? I'm not saying no money should be spent on these children. I'm saying why take it out of the Education budget.
