A note on your “Big-F Fact”: any sentence that includes the word ‘deserve’ is highly unlikely to be a statement of fact. What you have there is an opinion.

Also, you speak of costs only in terms of money. What you ignore (willfully or of ignorance) is the cost to the other students in terms of teacher time and, therefore, rate of progress. The time that a teacher must spend solely on a ‘special needs’ child in excess of what would normally be spent on an individual student does, in fact, come at the expense of the other students. Time is not elastic.
