Problem is they all become deficient in studies, as the class is taught to the lowest capable students.
IMO, lives were ruined, as the class corrected NOTHING, it just isolated them, and got them labelled by the entire school.

Yet another social issue, mishandled by liberals, who have no commitment to correcting it, just allowing it to mushroom, while asking for more monies each year while stating it has gotten worse, and larger.

I have seen that before, by getting the misfits out of the regular classes those other kids that wanted to learn were not held back as you said by "those who could not behave were put in a special class,"
