Yep. The article says the the $135 million doesn't come close to covering the expenses to date.
If I were spending the money, I'd spend nothing on students who can't learn, and pour my resources into those who can.
I don't understand this obsession with pouring money down the rathole of the weak, the stupid and the handicapped.
I remember seeing a course catalogue that included a three-part course on "The Exceptional Child". I thought it was going to be neat stuff for the brilliant, but it went something like this: Part I addressed disrupters. Part II addressed the retarded. Part III addressed the physically handicapped. If there was time, the gifted might get a few scraps.
What kind of pathetic society are we going to have in the future, if we give all our attention to those who don't deserve any?
