[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Warehouse the not normal kids? You’re objectively awful. [/quote]

Beats pretending they’re normal and as a result forcing the entire pace of learning to slow down to accommodate them. Every choice comes at a cost. [/quote]

The cost of warehousing the “not normal” kids means that kids have fewer opportunities to learn how to become compassionate humans.

The mission and purpose of school is education, not inculcating morals. A school where no one who graduated could read but everyone was "nice" would be a failure of a school and we'd all recognize it. A school where everyone is educated to the best of their ability, but all moral instruction is left to parents (beyond what is necessary to get along in a classroom) would be perhaps a lost opportunity, but still a functional school system. All discussion of school policy should occur on this basis. The primary goal is paramount, and achieving secondary goals at the expense of the primary goal shouldn't be tolerated. Going down that road leads to failed institutions. [/quote]
