>The hard-to-teach students need to go somewhere

Why not a school with behavior experts? Wouldn't a concentration of students with specific needs make it easier to address those needs because you can concentrate those specific resources there? To take an extreme example, look at the success of schools for the deaf or schools for the blind.

Public schools have special education teachers, and sub-schools within existing schools for special education teachers. In other words, we already do that. We just don't fund it very well.
