I'm sorry but there really are people in this world that are complete and total idiots. What a grand waste of time for folks that could be developing a talent during that time learning, oh gee, I don't know... music? Could you imagine what a gift it would be to have someone come in and teach those kids piano, guitar, drums... whatever, by ear. Who knows what you'd discover about a kid? Instead, some moron has them taking drivers ed.

People complain about how wasteful school districts are. However, this is just one more example of at some point, some politician somewhere setting rules who probably never sets foot in a classroom.

As teachers we just look at these things and realize that you might as well just take some money out back and burn it.

However, the saddest part is that some teachers somewhere in her special ed program didn't know or even worse didn't help her parents petition to change the curriculum for her.
