No Child Left Behind No Child Left Behind

At lunch today, a friend of mine and I were talking about special ed. An old girlfriend of mine made a decent living with a PhD in learning disabilities doing evaluations for rich parents. The result often was that their kids got the school districts to pay for private school. Her evaluation was a lot cheaper than what my ex and I pay for such.

But apparently, NCLB has ended much of that. Not enough money left over to support special education, and thus, private schools for those who cannot be accomodated.
