Horrible, yes indeed. But I don’t think anything can be down to stop it. You can’t stop some neighborhood guy from advising a kid on how to take a special ed evaluation.
And you can’t stop that kid from later giving the “wrong” answers on the evaluation itself.
The only possible solution would be to scrap the whole special ed system. Just treat each kid individually. If, for example, he can’t handle a regular reading class, okay. Put him in a lower level class. One-on-one teaching if need be. No big deal.
But no politician (D or R) has the will to scrap the whole system.
The only way it stops is when the productive people take a collective breath and simply stop producing and let the system fail!
