> Another place we see it is in the usage of IEPs and other accommodations for learning disabilities by wealthy families As the father of a child with a learning disability, I was shocked to learn that the process of getting public funding to help him (which in MA at least, is a legal right spelled out in state law) is entirely centered around the local school district attempting to drag everything out as long as possible and make it as hard as possible so that you have to spend quite a bit of money in advocates, experts, medical professionals, lawyers, etc. Their entire game is to wait you out until your bank account runs dry. I'm fortunate in that I'm wealthy enough to be able to front the money to drag the school district to court and force them to pay (though I'm only a bit more than a year into what is likely a 2-3 year process). But it became immediately obvious that anybody less fortunate is just simply screwed. Poor families with children that have moderate disabilities will never, ever get the funding.
