I do think their should be a line somewhere. My younger son lost a huge amount of learning in grade 2 because a kid in the room was hugely disruptive. He regularly threw furniture. They were evacuated from their class room because he was acting out violently at least 25 times. He punched other kids, and when he wasn't acting out he'd sit at the back of the classroom loudly playing with toys he brought, which is also disruptive. This kid's teacher has either quit or taken a leave in grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3.

There's no way he should be in a regular classroom, because the disruption he does to the learning of 20+ other kids exceeds any possible benefit to himself.

Tldr: learning disability and need some extra help --> regular classroom is fine.

Consistently disrupting the learning of everyone else with violence --> you need something different
