Steven I hope you don't mean by putting the words special needs in quotes to imply that they are not legitamate needs.....

I also hope you are not implying that somehow parents choose to have children with disabilities.....

I'm guessing you don't have children, and if you do, I hope you never have to deal with the unforunate situation of having a child that needs special services.  It is not an easy row to hoe.

Also, maybe the school district you attended needed to evaluate you a bit when you were going to school, here are your errors in bold:

This is one of the fundamental problems with the system... everyone looks to someone else to handle the problems they bring along.  It is not the school districts (district's) fault they would rather invest there (their) money in students that are not disabled esspecially (especially) during this recession.  I feel for the parents of "special needs" children but, simply put (missing comma) they are responsible for there (their) childs (child's) needs and education... If they didn't want to have to take care of it (missing comma) they shouldn't have had it.
