I get what your saying and I totally agree teachers are grossly underpaid but I don't agree with this part.
Teachers are there to teach.
The reality of today is there are a lot of kids with "needs" and extra work that wasn't known even 5-10 years ago but teachers are there to teach to all, not just the "other 70%". Its your job as a parent to raise a contributing member of society, not the teachers.
The way your post is written reads to me like you want a class system in place where kids without any disabilities are taught separately. This exists, its called Private school.
My son is high functioning ADHD child and takes medication but if he is left to his own he will do the bare minimum to rush through his work which impacts his grades; when he has help with reminders he is at par with the higher grades in his class.
