Am I the asshole for not wanting to have people with d.s to be in regular schools?

I know this sounds like this is suppose to be posted on reddit, I'm still hesitant as I'm new to that site/app and that I'll probably get bombarded by users telling me that I'm an asshole.
I'll start this "story" by saying I am not hating on people with down syndrome I always try to be on good terms with them and defend them from bullying.
Individuals with d.s has the lack of mental capacity/knowledge so much that 25 year old people with d.s is the age where they're considered as an adult, I've had classmates with d.s the first one being a girl in elementary I was her "guardian" bc I was her seatmate, suddenly she pushed a schoolmate down a high staircase bcs the boy got too close to someone she has calls friend.
And rn is a boy that is the age of 16-17 yr old and as I've said 25 yrs old people with d.s are the time they're considered adults meaning he has the mental age of a child below 10 yrs old. And he acts like it.
I'm in private school senior high school and almost all like 90 percent of the students are poor, he is too, the tuition is high hid parents are just wasting money bcs he failed all his subjects, he doesn't listen to any teachers and I'm a group activity with him and its a headache.
There are schools specifically for people with disabilities idk why they didn't add him there, they added him in my school bc theres so many bullies in public, why not in a school where he isn't going to get bullied and the teachers will take care of him more?

it is complicated, they require more help which can pull resources away from others but at the same time they need to integrate into regular society the best they can. it's tough.

Yes they need to be accepted into society but just dumping them into a school with people living without any disabilities is a bad treatment the teachers doesn't care bcs they aren't use to teaching pupils like them, and they'll be the target of bullying because he is different from everyone.
ReplyI'm also an old timer of ramen consumer generation and I'm old enough to say that the average child who is sent to daycare now has gone weird.
1. Not good at playing, not good at entertaining yourself without gadgets.
2. Strange sensory seeking for 5 years old - licking glue, licking waste basket, licking watercolor.
3. There is no patience, they can't wait for their turn, they don't want to take a turn.
4. 5 year old but their speech is still word by word.
5. They do not understand instructions, they do not listen to instructions, they cannot process instructions, not even if the instructions are simple.
6. They can't focus on doing anything, everything they wants to be ready quickly.
7. 5 year old but still doesn't know how to eat by themselves, doesn't know how to take care of themselves.
8. 5 year old but still desperately need pampering.
9. They don't know the difference between their own and other people's personal stuff.
10. They not knowing any danger.
11. They didn't recognize themselves when your name is called. They turn away only when called by the short name that mom always calls them at home.
12. There is no awareness of their surroundings, if they want to walk, if they feel like bumping into people, they just bump into them.
13. They not aware of other people's feelings, lack of empathy. If they hit someone, then they did not know what to do.
14. Their fine motor skills are very weak, their fingers become hard, maybe long effect from gadgets.
15. They didn't respect older people, if they feel like hitting the teacher, they just hit them. There is no fear or knowing that it is a wrong act.
16. They know how to play bullies, they step on people, kick people, slap people, like scenes in youtube.
17. They know a lot of stunts, climbing wardrobe, jumps, climbing tables, climbing slides and jumping down. They didn't be afraid of teachers but teachers who afraid of them.
18. Their most impressed "when I grow up, I want to go vape like my father".
What is more worrying about this matter is that all these children are normal children, not autistic or have other learning problems.
