That is a good answer, but I would never separate the quality of education from any child. I did not mean that. I was simply asking the question for those who might not be suitable. Perhaps it is a parental matter. I have seen where parents insist on sending the child to mainstream secondary school, which does not serve many people's needs whether they have intellectual disability. It may not serve them subject-wise, talent-wise, passion-wise or interest-wise. That was the question I was asking and Ms Maher answered it well.
