Random Venting

I just wanted to post a paragraph from a book we are reading for our class - The RtI Edition of our No Quick Fix book...
    "It costs more to educate some children than others. Leven (1989) sugggests that, generally, we can expect to spend about 50 percent more to educate the at-risk child. Obviously, the costs vary from child to child depending on the nature of the child's difficulties and the intensity and duration of the needed intervention."

Why then, Mr. Governor and Mr. Superintendent, is our funding being cut when we don't make AYP? Obviously we don't need less money...we need more.
