Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The curriculum in schools needs to keep up with changes in society because the students need to be fully functioning citizens. If schools do not change with the times, content will be outdated and useless for students. Problems in society (such as drug use and violence) also show up in schools, and schools cannot avoid dealing with them if the schools are to function properly.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: There will be expenses associated with establishing an optimal learning environment and with providing specially trained personnel who identify and evaluate children, provide services, and conduct evaluations. Special materials and educational supplies may also be needed to establish an optimal learning environment.
