ALL of the kids, FRiend. If we warehouse them, as you'd like, we basically toss them in the ashcan. I was one of those kids, myself, once upon a time. I've also spent a 24-year career in the Air Force, earned over 300 semester-hours of college credits, including two associates, a bachelors, and about 2/3rd of a masters, so far. So was Temple Grandin, who has severe autism, and look at what she's accomplished. EVERYONE has potential to do good, given the chance and some decent education.
It's also good for kids to learn that not everyone is really smart, or really dumb, and that all people can have value. It's also good for them to learn that when you fail at something, you pick yourself up, and try again, rather than just quiting.
Your points are well made and understood. I think I didn't make myself clear and that's my fault - - "warehouse" was a bad choice of words. I should have left it at "segregate". But the purpose for segregating the headbangers would not be for throwing them in the ashcan, but rather for determining how best to normalize and educate them so that they could be reintroduced to a normal classroom environment, while at the same time leaving the rest of the kids in an atmosphere more conducive to normal instruction without unnecessary distractions.
