The other 70% of the class is left to do worksheets, and fend for themselves. My child has lost his love for school at Grade 5, and it's because of situations like this. Teachers are there to raise leaders and contributing members of society. Not pander to the minority. I am not saying that the minority should be forgotten. But there should be other class rooms or resources that they can use, rather than take away from the other 70%, like my child.

My son and others in his grade 1 class in his Calgary elementary school was hit repeatedly by a child with special needs last year. It happened dozens of times to several kids, and, they never told us. We only found when he told us about it happening to one of his friends. When we asked the school they quickly said "we will not disclose the student who hit your child". I didnt even ask for that information nor do I care, but it was clear the priorities were ####ed up. They didn't care about the disruption or the ongoing hitting.
