In one school where I did a practicum, they move the problem kids out of the classroom to a special classroom where the teacher student ratio is closer to one on one.

Exactly. Which is how you end up with some $20,000 to $40,000 budget for one kid that may be beyond help anyway. And the money goes out of the budget for the rest of the kids. With this kind of budget for one kid, you could pay assistant teachers for early grades, benefiting 25 kids.

Therein lies the problem.....everyone sees the education budget as finite. We have to be as willing to spend on education like we are with defense. Otherwise, you will never reduce and minimize the problems that exist while turning out a well educated population.
