The first thing that needs to be done in regular classrooms at the early elementary level is to get rid of the kids who can't sit still and behave.  Put them in separate classes and stop hiding behind IEPs - They literally take up time that could be used for literacy or any other subject.  I don't know how much time is literally wasted because one or more kids consistently distract the rest of the class every day.  Parents, you know who you are because these kids obviously live with you and I know of many cases that ate junk food all day, watched tv or played video games for hours at a time, and had very few rules to follow in their life.  This is probably the single biggest complaint parents with kids in disruptive classes have and I know of more than a few teachers who couldn't stand these kids either because their parents won't allow teachers to punish them or remove them from the class.[/quote]

You are truly an awful person. I hope you leave for private school.[/quote]

Do you enjoy going to a movie theater and while watching a movie have 3 other patrons running around the theater, making noise, flicking the lights on and off and screaming? Because that is basically what it is like trying to learn with these mentally disturbed kids in the classroom.

Last year I was in my sons classroom helping and this crazy kid flipped his desk over in a rage. Do you have any clue how much chaos this caused in a 4th grade classroom? A loud bang and supplies and crap everywhere and a 9yr old having a tantrum. It ruined the entire lesson.

Pathetic. These kids need to head back to the special ed classes.

Lobby the government because they make the laws. The parents of these kids often due to have their kids included in NT classes. It’s terrible for all. [/quote]

I’d bet changing the curriculum to something that actually engages children would eliminate over half of the problem. Many of those kids probably aren’t in need of special services, but are just bored to death. It would make it easier to identify those that truly need the extra help.[/quote]
