While I can see how allowing a special needs student would help them integrate better with other students (the so-called "acceptance"), I think that the student would be better served having an aide with them (or a separate class) instead of relying on the teacher to constantly be helping. When I went through school the teachers seemed to have enough trouble keeping us in check while getting through all of the material they needed to go through. With the increase in class sizes, that the extra attention for one student could disrupt the learning of others.
