I realize not all ESE kids are poor - I have one at home and she certainly does not do without because I am blessed to be able to provide for her.. However, many ESE students come from needy families - just a fact of life. I was not talking about funding for ESE. I was talking about the need for the extra (if it's already a done deal anyway) for the kids. Now, if the funds are being misused, by all means, put a stop to them. However, if the kids are getting and benefitting from it, then I say send the funding in for their use. @Deborah,

It is redistribution, plain and simple. Special education (ESE) is a completely different funding issue. This has nothing to do with kids getting a biscuit for breakfast.

A little charity for children never hurt anything. A child is something that can go anyway, depending on it's indoctrination and tutoring. Most children are not worried about zionism or socialism, nationalism or any ism/religon, they just want the security of the social norm they see around them, and for the most part, most of us have a pretty good norm, some more, some less. Children who have inadequate nutrition and clothing need a little help, period. And in this case a little means is justified by the exponential end.

The way listed here, some get extra and others get no extra. Some pay in, some don’t pay in at all. Not very equal.

I am not a communist, but in America we need to insure that No Child living in financial difficulty goes hungry. I would like to see them have a sausage and biscut in the morning, a good hot lunch and a sandwich and carton of milk to take home with them, for the ones who need it. We can fund all these other crazy foriegn interest projects, we can fund homeland requirments as well. Warm decent clothing is another important consideration. This requirment could be satisfied by the donation of used and new clothing items. Amen No Excuses.

I am thankful that my family would be considered "affluent" by many, although I would consider us a standard, middle class WORKING family. That being said, I did spend 14 years as a teacher of students in Escambia Co. who would be considered poor and/or needy. They need more food, educational attention and medical care than the more fortunate children. There is alos a higher percentage of these students in special education. School is often where they receive these things they need, so the extra funding for such would be helpful IF we are going to get it anyway. Would I go vote for it? No. However, if it's a done deal, I'd welcome it and put it to good use for the students. Poor students have more needs that students from more affluent families.
