Knowing absolutely nothing about this case, other than this article I am not going to speak to this case directly. Personally I am not a fan of mainstreaming children, who are obviously not able to keep up. I think it is detrimental to all involved.

I was a public school teacher, and several times I've had "special" children in my classroom. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that NO ONE gets what he/she needs. The special needs child needs more time than I can give, and all the other children are cheated of the time that they deserve because so much of my time is spent in disciplinary/training issues with that special child. It's a lose/lose situation. Actually, that's what public school is, and it's why I homeschool my own children.
