ToxicMunkee: If his kid has the mental capacity of a 6-month-old, why is he in school? We don't send actual 6-month-olds to school, so why this kid?
No shiat. I brought this up in another thread: some special needs programs need to be re-thought. This kid can't speak, walk, read, or write. School is not a place for him. The parents are using the school system as the world's most expensive babysitter.

They were probably marking on a curve.

This article has a chart showing how much different states receive yearly for enrolled students. This is federal, state and local spending. For Georgia it's $8,000-$10,000 yearly per student.

Bathia_Mapes: He's likely in school because the school systems get money from the government for each enrolled student.

And how much are they pending on that kid and his care? I have to wonder if they aren't putting him on the rolls for the money, but spending more than they get for him which takes resources away from some other kid's subsidy.

It is always the people that are the most demanding, draining, and least reciprocal that will make the most noise. They create problems for everyone and a diversion for kids that are there to learn.
Coco LaFemme: Putting a child that severely disabled in school is offensive.
Yet the father feels the need to b*tch about testing when the real issue is his unfortunate genetic mishap.

serial_crusher: Is this maybe thing where the law requires him to go to school, despite his disability? That's what I assumed when I read it, but plenty of y'all are acting like they had other options?
That's very likely the scenario. Even if a child is incapable of learning, they have to either attend a public or private school or be home schooled. They cannot legally be denied an education, even if they can't take advantage of it.
And of course, butts in the chair mean more money for the schools.

No child left behind!

I suppose dad would prefer that they fail the kid, kick him out of school so mom and dad can pay someone to look after him all day. I guess they're mad they aren't being forced to get boot strappy.

I'd bet good money that there would be no assistance of any kind for the kid if he wasn't kept in school every day. Got to make sure we're not giving aid to people who don't "deserve" it, right? Got to make government assistance as hard to get as possible and as humiliating as possible.
