    I have to ask how big was this school. One one of the schools I went to had only one deaf kid in the whole student body. So the school couldn’t just put in special classes by himself and hire a whole new set a teachers for him. Now given deafness and what ever that kid had are very different and need different accommodation.

      Yeah that’s a good counterexamples. Especially if your example was in a rural area I could see how there is no better alternative. My example was in a school of 1000 kids in a densely populated area.

          There will be different solutions in different settings, for sure. And even for different kids in the same setting. I don’t like any plan that proscribes one solution for all.
