Child came home distraught over teacher who was attacked.

Do this every time something happens. In writing. It can take YEARS for the school system to offer a more appropriate placement even if the parents, teacher, and school staff are on board. Having a large paper trail and complaints from many different people can help.

It DOES. NOT. MATTER. They have a structure in place that is locked tight and literally no one can do anything to effect change.

You need to keep saying your daughter feels unsafe to get him or her moved to a different classroom. Also get the other parents to email. Its the beginning of the year - do not wait to take action on this or this will be like this all year.

But she doesn't (reasonably) fear for her safety. The teacher was certainly at risk, but nothing in the OP suggests that the other students were physically at risk. OP needs to talk to her anxious child about how we are all struggling with things, that this other child probably also has anxiety that manifests differently, and that evacuating the classroom was how the school keeps the students safe while he is learning better tools.

You don’t have a lot of access to news sources do you? Children do face real danger from violent classmates.

Talk to your child's doctor and get them medicated/treated for their anxiety.

Please talk to a medical professional and self identify as a sociopath, your children as well if they watched unfazed as someone was attacked.

There's a huge difference between being "unfazed" and being paralyzed with fear. The OP's child is not reacting appropriately or rationally.

Paralyzed with fear is your narrative. OP’s is that the kid doesn't want to go to school after watching a kid assault his teacher and threaten to kill everyone. You know— that thing that happens regularly enough that OPs kid has probably done lockdown drills.

So tame your truly sociopathic concern trolling elsewhere, or tell me the last time you let your kids witness violet assault.

Let us know when the kid beats the teacher the death in front of the class. Otherwise, yawn....
