Reply #16: The private schools already exist and already are the best option [View All]

I just think the government should help pay for the the best option possible. If my friend was in public schools right now he might have an individual aide (certainly most of his current classmates would), be receiving at least some special services, and would be costing the state A LOT more money then his mom is paying now through all of this. Whats wrong with sending him here instead of send him to the public school where he wouldn't be learning, wouldn't want to be learning, and would just be more miserable. I am sure there is a good reason I am missing here... but I just don't see it.

P.S. To me the system we have now is basically enforcing everyone to see a general practioner even if what we need a psychologist or whatever... it makes me scared about government controlled health care like many people here want with the single-payer option.
