[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know whether parents have experienced consistently disruptive behaviors by students in their child's classroom, and what strategies or actions were taken by the school to address the behaviors.

In your experience, do schools have the skills to address effectively the special learning needs, emotional traumas, or social deficits which often lead to disruptive student behavior?  If not, do schools ask students to leave?

Do schools tend to take a "wait and see" approach, especially in the lower elementary grades, in an attempt to be as supportive as possible?  If so, does that tend to perpetuate or to ameliorate the disruptive behaviors throughout the year or over successive years?

Is teacher time dominated by children with high needs, or does the classroom function in a more balanced manner?

I would be so grateful to hear your observations.  I don't need to know the name of your school, just your observations.  Thanks![/quote]

Our family experienced this, and here was our experience - the school tried VERY hard to address the issues. And they allowed the student to remain enrolled through several of the lower elementary grades. However, it became clear that the behaviors weren't a byproduct of regular immaturity, but rather were more deep-seated, and eventually, the child was (I believe) asked to leave.

I don't believe teacher time was dominated by this child, but they were removed from class often.

Unfortunately, there are going to be certain children who have needs that are too great for a school to address. I am not talking about something like supports for ADHD, but more when a child is obviously troubled, and the issues are not caused by school.

Ultimately, I know that the change was beneficial for the rest of the class, and I have heard that the child is doing a lot better in his new environment.[/quote]

What is his new environment?[/quote]
