What do you consider a learning disability by the way? Because I am pretty sure you are thinking of developmental disabilities.
Normal classroom means 1 teacher, x amount of students. If it takes educational assistants to help students with learning disabilities, fine. Keep them in the normal classroom with extra attention.

Pretty sure that isn't what the issue is here. I was talking about students who can learn just fine doing okay in a classroom with more students.
