why give money to smart people, rather than giving money to retards to make them at least able to get a job and be more valuable to society (i don’t mean that to sound bad)

I still find it deplorable that 2/3 of all my schools funding goes towards “Special education.” Americans who are in the top of their class are having trouble competing with students from overseas and yet our education system seems not care about the fact that the students in the top and middle of their class (the ones with the most potential) are being left out to dry (especially those who are just average in their academic performance).

I don’t know if gifted students should get more than disabled students (maybe that’s not what you’re saying). But I do believe gifted programs should receive more funding. Gifted and disabled students should receive the same amount of money per student.
