It's grade 4, time for kids to be learning all sorts of things, including how to include and support people.
I'm not saying the student doesn't need an aid, in most cases the aid afforded by the students coding ends up helping the teacher with everyone anyway. Point is if little suzie is not keeping up with her mothers expectation of grade 4 success, then either A) her mother steps up or B) stop wasting time blaming the disabled kid and spend it looking for the real answer..
