ALL we have is anecdotal . We have statements from people with vested interests and short out of context video snippets . Both sides are doing everything they can to appear perfect while the other side is monsters . I would say this guy ' s evidence is the most substantial bit I ' ve seen so far , and he could just be lying . <| sep |> That ' s a plus for sure . <| sep |> Find me one private elementary through high school principal who would be open to special ed . Even for something as simple as deaf and blind kids , there simply isn ' t any private education unless the whole school is entirely devoted to serving that disability , and even then , in the US , the only private schools for the deaf and blind are tertiary education , because the public schools are required by law to teach everyone . Private and charter schools love to siphon off gifted and talented kids with scholarships to subsidize their test scores at the severe expense of local public schools , but they sure as hell aren ' t taking the short bus kids .
