As a grade 3 teacher my wife says that she sees kids that likely disrupt her classes as much or more than this kid and those kids aren't "######ed."
She has to spend plenty of time with a few kids that need extra help and therefore some of the other kids are going to get less time.
I guess my question would be that if it were a "normal" kid would the parent or even child be reacting this strongly? Or could it be that they see that the kid is different and automatically go to a stronger/more severe position than they would in the same situation with a kid that was not ######ed.
I am not accusing them of being jerks towards the "######ed" people, but I do think that it would be a natural reaction for many people to overblow the behaviors/distractions of this one kid because of preconceived notions about how "######ed" will act and where they should be in school.
Personally, I would hope the school ships out the co-worker and her daughter before they do the "######ed" kid.
