Michigan's system for educating disabled students gives the state the worst of both worlds: It eats up huge amounts of taxpayer money - we estimate the system's problems misdirect about $166 million per year into special education - while hindering the state from helping struggling kids to learn. Michigan's budget problem has merely been postponed, not solved. The state avoided big spending cuts, including cuts to schools, only by grabbing a quick one-time fix - it moved up the date for county tax collection by five months.
