Should special ed and 504 families pay more?

Yeah, which is why you said parents should pay for their retards, because it costs too much, but funding isn't an issue.

Sounds very factual.

Unlike you, I don't refer to children as 'retards.' And you clearly missed my grudge against inclusion classes, not special ed programs. Or, more likely, you have a vendetta against gifted and talented children; that would explain why you think kids who get good grades are socially inept.

So to recap:
- I've worked with special ed students by choice as a special ed aide.
- I've taught special ed students.
- I've volunteered my weekends for the benefit of special ed students.
- I've saved a special ed (or at least 504) student's life.
- I oppose inclusion classes when they bring down other students.

You:
- Refer to special ed kids as retards.
- Hate AP kids.
- Think regular students should perform less just to maintain inclusion.

But at least you want to give teachers a raise... in exchange for more training. More time away from teaching and lesson planning.

Gotchya.

I said get rid of the costly expenses (IEP for everything, inclusion classes) or make parents pay more since it's lowering standards for regular students and is costing $150-$250,000 per kid. I didn't imply anything about throwing special kids under the bus. Whatever. I'm done with your putrid hatred of gifted children and derogatory language towards special needs.

No. You don't need to increase funding. You need to cut costs.
