I was tasked with photographing a teacher once for work. In her class was a child that pretty clearly didn’t know what was going on and just moaned the majority of the time. He, of course, had an aid - quite possibly an actual nurse - that presumably had to be with him the whole time.

I fee for his parents. I’m sure they want him to have as normal of a life as he possibly can. That said, when one student is taking up the resources that could fund another entire class with no perceivable benefit…. Perhaps a group home would be a better fit?

I don’t think feeling that way makes me a monster, but I bet some people feel otherwise.
