I didn't get it either. I just kept thinking, "Yes, DS is different. That's what we're trying to tell you. But the DIFFERENCE is not something that needs to be CORRECTED. His differences mean he needs something more in the classroom."
It made me think back to that Twilight Zone episode, "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You" where there are only a few different choices of what face/body to have -- everyone gets transformed when they're a teenager and has to wear a name tag to know who's who, and they're brainwashed to be happy and like everyone else. What a horrible world that would be!
