Let the nanny state take care of him somewhere else.
The problem is that even if they put him in a special needs classroom his violent behavior will still be a problem. The other kids in that room will be less able to protect themselves and more likely to go off on him if he injures or hurts them.
The problem here is his behavior, plain and simple. If he can not be controlled then he can not be allowed to interact with other children that he might hurt. They kick violent kids out of school all the time. Why should this kid be any different? If he stabs another kid with a fork will it hurt less because he is a special needs kid? If he is a danger to his teachers and to the other students then he can not be there. My wife is a teacher with a lot of time in special needs classrooms. She has a bandage on her hand right now from a Downs kid who cut her with a pair of scissors.
Exactly, he shoudn’t. Put him in juvenile detention with the other individuals who can’t distinguish right and wrong.
