Can parents sue to move unruly child to alternative school?

At what point is the kid moved OUT? This is getting out of hand- get these kids out of these schools so our kids can learn and their teachers can teach!

No. And shame on you.

Were you raised wrong? Or just born bad?

21:07 is lying again.

Anyone can report parental negligence.

Yeah my daughter had juvenile harassment charges against a boy in her school and the only thing they offer up is they can’t be the same class or MY child can put in for a COSA they would immediately accept.

So no, unruly kids, bullies, and even those with charges have more rights than the victims.

This is a travesty and a perversion of the law. No other country in the world has to fear school sanctioned classroom violence by deranged kids.

You said charges. You didn't reference a conviction. Otherwise I'd agree with you.

What does it take to go from charges to conviction of a violent kid? A boatload of cash? And a miracle.

Huh? I don't think you know what what "charges" refers to.

Let’s be extra clear for you: harassment.

Charges are accusations, not proof of guilt. And they're not brought by families or individials- they're brought by the state.

Indeed it is. The only thing that will change it though is if people start taking this insane practice to court and we get new legal rulings issued.

Courts aren't the issue. It's very hard for families to prevail against schools in court.

As discussed earlier, the issue is money. It is far cheaper for schools to keep kids in general education settings without support than it is to move them into a specialized program or pay for a paraeducator.

No, there’s nothing “cheap” when you’re assaulted.
Which support needs to be available for violent kids?

It's cheap for the school, and they're the ones making the decisions here. They don't want to pay for a paraeducator, a special program, or private placement.

Liar. It costs nothing to send a sick child home. Violent, mental illness is a sickness. Sick children can not be kept at school. They need medical attention.

Something happened at our elementary school where a kid hurt several children. There ended up being a parent meeting about the situation and the unruly child was moved to a private school placement. It turns out that the child's parents had been trying to get him moved for a long time and MCPS was not cooperative. I think pressure from the other parents made it happen.
