Well, yes, I believe so. In my school, we had different types of classes for different aptitudes.
We had AP, which was for the best studied and those that were willing to do a *shit* ton of extra work, they counted as college classes.
Advanced, for the, well, advanced.
Regular, for those of average learning speed (I was offered AP but I wasn't willing to do the work).
Occupational Course of study, basically, for children who are not *retarded* per se, but are very close or mildly retarded. Not so much so that they needed to be in special ed but they couldn't handle a regular classroom environment either.
And then you had Special Ed (Progressive Education Program) which had classes catering to various levels of "mental challenges" if you will.
In addition, every child with special needs which had been put into regular classes had an aid with them that watched them at all times to ensure that this kind of shit didn't happen. Now some occupational students fell through the cracks because they didn't require constant supervision, but other than that, while the events that you listed could happen, the people bothering you would be average (or slightly below, in that magical border between average and retarded) but they wouldn't have a known special need.
Honestly, your act is considered criminal. You did not use force until after she walked away. That's a legal standpoint, and you probably used more force than she did. Self-defense is defined as use of equal or lesser force in order to deter the attacker, in your case, the attacker walked away. While I do agree that, in an educational environment, the special needs (or violent little assholes in general) should be kept in a differing environment to keep from obstructing our educational experience, and that the counselor should not have placed the blame squarely on you, getting angry and jumping on someone's back and hitting them after the fact is not self-defense. It's Assault and Battery. You were both equally wrong.
Aslo they put the slow kids and the severe retarded in the same class. They also toss in the trouble makers with the retards.
They do not teach them anything as the goal is to babysit and the ones who are slightly slow know nothing when they are intergrated into the class.
None of these schools are very good at intergrating either as they are hell bent on keeping them moronic yet pushing them into something they were never prepared for.
I know becuase we had a kid who was slightly slow very highfuctioning intergrated into our class and siad she learned nothing our class was learning when she was moved in.
Aslo anyone can be put in those classes and testing deos not determine what classes you get to take. It is simply the laws. Also at most the schools I been to the parents determine who gets to be in retarded and regulaur classes.
If a mom says I want my child in retarded classes the teachers have to put them in. If they say take my child our they have to. This is regardless of how well the child is preforming and how advanced they are testing.
Is it normal I think they add classes to deal with retarded people?

Sounds like your school system sucks. It's not entirely optional in ours.
