In a way I agree with Ruth Kelly. I've known several people with special educational needs, and for the most part, they've been let down badly by the state school system.
Looking at the same point from a different angle, the reason these people have been let down is because giving these people the education they need it TOO MUCH BOTHER. Both Tory & Labour governments, LEAs, schools & even teachers cannot be bothered to give these kids the support they need. Tony Blair has even gone as far as closing down specialist schools for the poor sods (many dyslexics like Ms Kelly's son do get on well in main stream education, the specialist schools are aimed at more severe cases of disability); and Ruth Kelly did nothing to stop them being closed.
