[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Regular"? Seriously?

My kid has an incurable medical illness requiring her to be special ed. 
She's not a "regular" kid? So what, she's "irregular"?

And we wonder where our kids, born without prejudice, learn this crap.[/quote]

Are you really getting upset about the use of the word regular?  No one would call your child irregular.  She said regular meaning not special ed, ESOL...No one is trying to insult your child or any special needs child.  Op wasn't even complaining about special needs funding, so I'm not quite sure how this became a thread accusing op of not being tolerant and teaching prejudice.  Loudoun County spends more on neurotypical kids than FCPS spends on neurotypical kids.  OP is asking whether anyone else finds it concerning that FCPS is spending less on these kids than a neighboring county.  This is no different than people who are concerned about FCPS spending less on teachers than neighboring counties.  Both of these things could eventually have an adverse impact on the education of our kids.  Op had to make a distinction between special ed and non special ed because to just say "FCPS spends less on kids than Loudoun" is not true with respect to special ed and ESOL kids.  [/quote]
