Should My Wordless Kid Go to School with Your Normal Child?
when people advocate sending special needs kids away to “special schools,” they are not thinking about the welfare or comfort of those kids. They are thinking of their own.
How dare those parents of “neurotypical” children have the temerity to think of their own kids! The audacity!
It seems to me that they want only what The Hyphenated One wants for Schuyler–the best education for their children, yet they get derided as being bigoted against the handicapped for raising the very real concerns that the resources devoted to special-ed children reduces the amount of resources available for educating their children.
I suspect many of the critics of public funding for special needs either got lucky and had “normal” kids or don’t even have kids and really don’t have a clue what being a parent is.
I don’t have kids, but I do pay taxes, which gives me every right in the world to insist that I have a say on how that public funding–read tax dollars–are spent…
