In the song "Subdivisions", Rush refers to suburbs -- or was it suburban high schools -- as "the mass production zone". Regardless of what they meant, I think that phrase is apt for public schools in general. Mass production works best when the raw materials and the processes are homogeneous across all units. Needless to say, talking about schools and children this way is dehumanizing. But when we look at it this way, is it any wonder that public schools stumble with accommodating children with disabilities? I have no idea what to do about it; just rambling about a possible reason why the problem exists.
