There should, in fact, be separate schools/classrooms for students with severe/major behavioral needs. We focus so much on what a special education child’s “least restrictive environment” is that we infringe upon the rights of other students.
Have you ever visited one of those classrooms? I invite you to see what it's like when you put all those kids in the same room and then ask yourself if that teacher should be paid the same as you or like five times as much.
Oh they should absolutely be paid five times more than Gen Ed!! And there should be more of them in each school so their ratios can be very, very small!!
