don't we just throw them out with a shovel as a parting gift? Why delay the
ditch digging job they are destined for anyway? Parents need to participate
in the education of their children. If they don't then all but a few kids
will fail.  If the kids going to fail, why let him drag everyone else down
with him, get him out of the classroom.  Damn with all the money that is
being spent to take care of all the kids like they need the same kind of
help as the few, we could probably create some three student classrooms for
these PITA kids, and the normal kids will be able to learn without the added
distraction. Schools do it all the time for the brightest kids. How many
gifted programs have somewhere between 3:1 to 6:1 student to teacher ratio?
