"To each his ability and from each his best."

I once heard a lecture about the Chinese character for disaster being a combination of something and opportunity. Isn't that how work-study in any line of work should be viewed - as an opportunity? If we're talking about people who can be educated enough to work as a janitor - and let's face it, there are some skills that janitors need! - I'm all for it. What's the alternative? If your child was mentally challenged, wouldn't you rather have him or her able to do something for which they can take some pride?

I so agree with Bethany about the attitude the one father has taken about his son - makes you wonder what goes on behind closed doors!
