When they're only teaching math, or science, or any other subject, what need is there of mastery in many subjects? sure it would be nice for teachers to be diverse enough to teach all subjects, but it's not necessary. As for choosing what school your child goes to, I see no reason why parents should not be allowed to. what's the harm.
Segregating those with disabilities (mental ones) is, unfortunately, necessary in the current infrastructure. While it would be well and good for the disabled to be learning, say, science, with everyone else, not only could the curriculum be too complicated for them to understand, but some of their ticks or habits could be distracting to others. In classes such as music and art a number of the mentally handicapped have been able to meld successfully with other students. All things considered the school (at least mine) is doing quite alot to keep the kids included while maintaining an environment in which they can learn. which must be quite difficult. Segregation is not always a bad thing.
