Public Schools vs. Private Schools.

Make the whole family move? Force a nearby private school to accommodate ONE (that's bad business practice, BTW)? Schools for retards won't crop up everywhere there's a retard, you know, and it's unfair to the families to penalize them for having retards by making them send their kids away.

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? 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?

Nice dodge. I wasn't talking about the standards testing in Buttfuckistan, I was talking about how most Americans are stupid.

I don't think I need to hear about stupidity from a Canadian. BRING IT!!!

Nope. Business is more efficient than governments, but nobody said government had to be 100% efficient. See, I think that there are somethings that are better left to government to control. That way, the greater good prevails, rather than the private interests of a few rich guys and their bank statements. Unity of Man and all that stuff, you know.

THE INVISABLE HAND IS ALL!!! WOO WOO WOO!!!
