If you do not want to pay for all of those "non-gifted" children then you will pay when they are in prison. There have been many studies showing this. Also, my son is in special ed. He has an above average IQ, has a vocab level that is 12th grade level but is only reading at 3rd grade level. I pay a lot of money for special tutoring as the educators cant teach him because they refuse to follow the education plans provided to them. Most children in special ed are just like my son. My brother also had the same issues. He barely made it out of high school, but as soon as he started attending collage he got the services he needed and started making the deans list. This is typical of the special ed programs in the US. Maybe instead of being a Nazi and just making these kids "flip" burgers you should look at trying to help them. Oh, by the Albert Einstein had Dyslexia just like my son.
