Someone has to be there for that kid to say 'shut up and study'. Failing that, disruptive student is a drag on the rest.

I am sympathetic to the thought process behind it but the end results are hard to argue with.

I agree. But if their parents are not able to say « shut up and study », it should be the role of the public power to say it, even if it means transferring them into specialized schools, but letting them aside of the road should never be an acceptable option, because it will hurt them and it hurts the society (by making up future criminals and spreading wrong values)

Who pays for the specialized schools? If it's we, the taxpayers, then we have a right to expect that those schools do their jobs. Do they? Do you have any specific references you can give?
