This is pretty normal at elementary, as the parent you have choices regarding where your child goes to school, whether it is the public / catholic / charter / private systems. It all comes down on what you feel fits your childs needs in terms of development.

Mind you regardless of what type of students are in the class there will always be high needs students. I have had several classes full of "normal" kids but there are always kids who are high needs / high attention.

The Principal is basically stating the direction the education is moving towards, you don't really see kids being streamed in different classes anymore until late junior high and high school.

Here's an interesting question though, is it really a case that this parent is concerned that the disruptive student needs special care, or that their kid is not getting their "fair share"?

The other thing is if the ultimate goal of education is to develop adults who can successfully interact and operate within society how does separating the groups help anyone?
