Oh, they did that here too in two steps: first they abolished technical schools, because hey, who needs those? If all kids just study hard enough I'm sure they'll get to the same level! So then they had to organise theoretical schools at different levels (we now have six) which sorta worked out for the higher levels, but really didn't for the lower levels since some kids just need to learn through using their hands instead of their head.
And now special ed has to merge with ordinary schools because everyone deserves the same chances. Well, that last part is true, but what it comes down to, is that every class I teach has at least one kid with ADHD or ADD, 1 or 2 kids with some form of autism, up to 7 dyslexic kids and spread through the classes there are some kids with serious anger management and/or anxiety issues. I even have two classes of together about 50 kids of which a grand total of 3 kids have nothing officially wrong with them. (Please note that with the term 'wrong with them' I don't mean to imply kids with any sort of psychological, learning or whatever disability are 'broken', I just mean they don't have a label of sorts)
