[quote=Anonymous]Enlighten us- what is the nature of the grants you are talking about? Frankly, as a parent of a child with LDs, I did not want her in elite private schools. It would be a terrible fit and no amount of supports would make it a good fit. She did go to a private school, and maybe a borderline elite one, but one that was appropriate for her. She would have been miserable at Sidwell or Exeter or Groton. I also appreciate that there are private schools who ONLY admit children with LDs, and oftentimes kids with only certain types of LDs. As to Big Bird - that is such a commercial enterprise that it should not require government support. Frankly same goes for PBS. Maybe their model needs to change if it is not financially viable. Is commercial free really that much of an asset? It's not one I am necessarily willing to subsidize with tax dollars (although I do contribute to WETA each year).[/quote]
