Regular kids? Who the hell knows?[/quote]

This type of reasoning bothers me. To put it in a stark way, the kids who are non verbal and unlikely to be largely productive members of society as adults will be able to attend school, but the future doctors/ nurses/ teachers/ etc will be made to sit out. How can a society function if this is our priority?

I know this sounds cold hearted. I’m thinking big picture on purpose with my musings. But what if hospitals functioned the same way- in Italy for example if 2 people needed a hospital bed and one was 85 and had heart disease and one was 30 and healthy, the 30 year old got it. It seems like with schools this plan would only offer in person  education to the most frail. [/quote]

Coldhearted, sure, but mostly ignorant. You literally have no idea what special education is.[/quote]

Special education is for kids a few generations ago would mostly be institutionalized on one side of the spectrum or dropouts on the other. It is more humane but those kids still will always be on the periphery of society. They are there because they can’t keep up, that doesn’t ever change.  Their parents want them to be happy but that is emotional not practical. [/quote]
I don't know who you think you are. You don't get to define what a meaningful life looks like for people with disabilities. You should take a hard long hard look in the mirror. I think the world would be better off without so many arrogant, ableist people without any regard for others. [/quote]
