Fixed! Irony can be really killer sometimes.
Back on topic, If this (or any) child needs assistance to function at a normal level in any setting then they should be provided that assistance. If the teacher can't handle providing that assistance, then perhaps there should be an assistant who is able to help with the class and still enable the all the children involved to recieve the full benifit of our educational system.
However, If this child's parents and medical caregivers have decided that they do not want this option for their child, then they should have the right to have some say in the way their child is educated. And as such, they should be responsible for any additional costs to maintain this education. Either though insurance, health care or some other provincial funding.
If the school board is making this choice for them, as a blanket policy or on an individual basis, then the board should be responsible to cover the expenses.
