This is a program that will help to ensure we have special educators.  Whose responsibility do you think that should be?  When universities give grants or scholarships to nurses, because of the serious nurse shortage, should that not happen either?  You okay with being sick and your nurse in the ICU having a 1:5 patient ratio instead of 1:2?

Exactly. Even if it doesn't affect you or your family firsthand, it will affect your kids if they are at a school that's understaffed. What do you think happens when schools can't staff special ed positions? I will tell you. The kids who need services don't get them and it is stressful for everyone. I wouldn't get too smug about vouchers and private or charter schools, either. Some of them have laughably bad curriculum and staff with no experience working with children. Everyone thinks their child will have no problem getting accepted at a top tier one until they're competing against hundreds of other kids who are equally qualified.[/quote]
