On the other hand, there are plenty of educators that think they are doing everyone a huge favor by doing just that.
I mention that because you should be alert for signs that this is taking place.
Turning a PG child into a metaphorical bonsai tree is a strange thing, but it has certain hallmarks.
"S/he needs to learn to..."
* follow directions (perfectly)
* take pleasure/pride in accomplishments and just relax (or some variant thereof)
* be more "normal" (meaning, interact with agemates in the ways that NT children do)
Those are all real warning signs, in my estimation. Couple any of the above statements from a classroom teacher with school refusal or complaints about boredom, and it's worth investigating.
