In other words, your asking what happens if the demand isn't great enough. For one thing, do you honestly think that a special ed program would be enacted in a public school for one kid? I hope not. For the second, do you think that is even remotely probable?

Well, that just goes to show how much you know about the subject matter you're shooting your mouth off about. YES, THEY WILL ENACT SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR ONE KID.

For the third, you don't think that some of the established schools in the area might come up with a small special ed program for more profit?

More profit... more profit... hmm... well, considering all the extra investment that teaching retarded kids takes... teachers, paras, equipment, drool mats... well, let's just say that there would have to be a helluva lot of retards to make even a small special ed program profitable. You obviously never attended a school where they taught special needs kids, huh?

Where a normal parent might be paying a few thousand per year per kid for schooling, a parent of a retard could pay 10x that.

But now, why would all the schools set up small special ed programs, when there is a limited number of 'tards in any given region? Hell, why would even SOME of them do it? You only need one.

But wait! Some of them might be more efficient at it, and could therefore do it cheaper! Put all the retards there! ... But then all these other schools are being inefficient and wasting valuable money that OTHER parents have given them for the education of THEIR children. Woe! The dollar figure has plummetted and the quality of education is suffering! Outrage!

So, now only one school in the area is teaching retards... OMG! A monopoly on retard education! I smell a conspiracy! There must be a better way! Someone should compete with this school! I demand that there be more options for my retarded kid when it comes to teaching him how to blow his nose!

Yeah right.

Moreover, you cannot deny that the myth of high drug prices is precisely that... a myth.

Yes... which is precisely why Americans keep wanting to buy prescription drugs from Canada.
