Cost of Disruptive Students

Yeah, I don't know how to think about this.

Obviously removing disruptive students from the classroom is better for all the remaining students, but as a society, what do we owe the disruptive student? Whether it's a kid "linked to domestic violence," or a kid with ADD or whatever, it's not their fault, and don't they deserve the chance to be the best they can be? Having them in the regular classroom with kids who are good examples and who hopefully help provide a stable environment has got the be better for them. It lifts them up, hopefully a lot, while it drags everyone else down a little.

*shrug* I honestly don't know what's best.

I know that there are some disruptive little shits at our Scout meetings that I would love it if they didn't come, but I remind myself that they need Scouts more than the good kids do.
