An Olive Branch

If you have one disabled child in a school that has 500 students, it
doesn't affect
the average performance of the school. If you have one disabled child in
500
students, but these students are spread out over 10 schools, the
performance of the
one school that kid is in will show up as disproportionately poor.

I hope that this 500 was a number pulled out of your hat, and not what you
believe is a close estimate. The number of kids passed along without being
able to read and write is a disaster, and telling of our biggest failure in
the schools of today and the past.

1 in 50 is still too low of a number. Wow.

Absolutely. I was simply providing an example to Alex of what Corky was talking
about.
