As the father of a special needs child(my son is autistic with severe hyperactivity and learning disability) i would have to say that I would like for my son to get the special support that he requires,which has been an ongoing battle regarding resorces for the past 5 1/2 years.
I dont want to sound like a winer who wants to sponge society for stuff,but I do feel that we must cater to the needs of kids with accepted disabilities before we pander to the children of "above average" abilities.
I would say however that it is the job of our wonderful government to get off their collective backsides and do something to fund our children ....of all abilities,as they are the future of our society and often the most forgotten.
