Are you kidding, they'd never get rid of them: those kids are the cash cows...special needs kids get all the bucks,and support a burgeoning specialized educational bureaucracy, imho. V's wife.

That's what it's all about. As long as they can get those kids to just show up, it justifies taking huge amounts of taxpayer money. At the same time they've got all kinds of GED programs, and even a Spanish GED so the poor drop-outs can get jobs that should require a high school diploma. The government should get out of education, let communities and families do what they wish with it.
