Integration is a good thing. I always had 1 or 2 mentally challanged kids in the class. I do not believe for a second that the kid in question education is suffering as a result of teacher not being able to spend individual time with the student.
If a teacher as 30 students in a class over the course of a 5 hour day and say is teaching the entire class for half of that time the amount of individual attention per student is 5 minutes per day. Even if that time is cut in half it shouldn't make a difference.
It is also grade 4 if you cant learn to Handwrite and do a little math without the teacher holding your hand you are in trouble and rather then complain to the principle they should help their child with their homework. Of all the things this child could learn in grade 4 learning that other people have different needs and how to deal with disruptive situations if probably a far greater lesson then the extra 2.5 minutes a day of one on one time with the teacher.
