General and special education teachers will collaborate and have access to the training and support they need to modify curriculum. Children will receive an education in the least restrictive environment which provides opportunities for children with and without disabilities to learn together and from each other every day.

If things keep going like this people will start signing up for the educational revolution (I get to be a general). Discouraged is the way you should feel. Ken Libby's post was downright depressing. I liked your points, except I might like the idea of pairing up schools (wealthy and poor) and splitting ALL the money raised. A lot of it evidently is raised outside the guidelines of the Foundation. (As I understand it a lot of money is raised for special projects and this money doesn't come under the Foundation guidelines. Though I might be wrong.) Want to feel even more depressed. Take a look at Stand for Children's latest endeavors. (the mentoring part seems fine) We have a socialist president and now we are getting a “manifesto” from our favorite blogger.
