OMG. The people railing against this bill are absurd. One parent said his kid had been secluded 745 times. If your kid has behavioral issues that severe, they do not belong in a mainstream classroom. Why on earth should all the other kids be subjected to that kind of disruption? I hope this bill passes and wishes it had been implemented long ago.

More likely then not that kid was not in a Gen Ed classroom and was in one of the specialized programs for kids with emotional issues.

This doesn't specify what happens to the student after the third strike. Suspension? Expulsion? These kids still need an education, and there isn't enough space at CSS centers to absorb this. I agree it puts teachers into a very negative role.

As long as they are out of ge rooms, who cares

I have to agree. The rest of the kids deserve an environment in which they can learn without constant interruptions.

I care, because I have a heart. A lot of these kids have emotional deregulation beyond their control. They need support, not punishment.

I don't see anything in this piece that demonstrates anything beyond punishment, and I find that very sad.

The punishment is ancillary. Removing them so that teachers can teach and children who are willing to learn can learn is the point.

Exactly. And this is NOT limited to Gen Ed classrooms, btw. My child (AAP) was constantly being kicked by a classmate. Her desk, her chair, her legs. Constant. We finally had a conference and insisted this kid be removed if he was unable/unwilling to correct this behavior. The teacher merely said there was "nothing she could do." That may very well be the case, in which I place the blame for this squarely on FCPS. I hope this bill passes.

AAP kids have emotional issues too. Again, this isn't limited to Gen Ed.
