Nice post! I think think that the mainstream education system, at least from my experience in the UK, is flawed simply because it is too rigid in its approach to teaching. Most people with learning disabilities don't require physical care to get the most from education, but rather need a more flexible mentality from staff. I was home schooled for nearly 3 years toward the end of my schooling years, and took my exams at a drop in center. I also nearly attended a Steiner Waldorf  school which emphasizes freedom of choice in topic and times when taught and encourages independent learning. Being too standardized hurts pupils in many ways I feel. Anyhow, good luck :)
