I can't believe the parent of the child in question (special needs) isn't advocating and insisting that their child have a full time aide while at school.
The grade school my kids went to however, was designated in the board as a special ed school, so maybe it was more progressive in these situations.
The kids still had some issues with these students, but not to this extent.

Yeah, I'm not understanding why this kid you're talking about doesn't have a teachers aide. I currently do this job at a private school, and while there are still disruptions, its more at par with any normal disruption by any other student. There are lots of exercises that really help him not to disrupt the class unnecessarily.
I think all 'special needs' kids require just that, someone giving them more attention to their different needs, just as a regular kid needs attention in areas like math or science, my kid needs it in social behaviour and he gets it, like a tutor helps another kid with science. We work on it and practice proper boundaries and acceptable methods for dealing with anxiousness, frustration, anger, and excitements.
He doesnt need to be segregated to learn, but should get the extra attention as he deserves to help him grow and develop.
