I wasn't clear...I do not think a child should neccessarily be removed from a regular class environment without much effort being made to remediate the problem-- Even trying a different teacher before placing someone in a special class.

I was thinking of a situation in my son's first grade class where a boy hit other children and/or the teacher on a daily basis. He would be sent to the principals office where he would spend the remainder of the day.

This was just to much for the teacher and the students to deal with for an entire year.
