Does your school not have remedial classes set up to take these students away from the less disruptive members of the class? I know ours did.

Teachers don't actually want to slap children around or dominate them.We just want to do our job and teach them with as little disruption as possible.
As for your second point well these days the answer is that we have an all inclusive education system as many 'special' schools have closed so the burdens on the special needs staff have become astronomical. We can find ourselves dealing with Downs Syndrome children as well as any others with specialised learning difficulties.We will also have to start including the superbright children in the Special Needs funding in the near future.So there is no talk of removing children away to a special unit especially as one SNA may be in a classroom dealing with as many as 6 special needs students..WE just don't have enough staff to do so.Also funding is tight and many children are turned away from being given help.
