How in the world would you know what action has or hasn't been taken?

My kid was that kid. BEGGED AND PLEADED for him to be removed to a special school. It never happened. By all means, bug the administration, I'm sure his parents don't want him to hurt other kids either. [/quote]

what is his diagnosis?

[b]I know there’s been no action because the student is in the classroom and my child continues to be hit.[/b] [/quote]

No you don’t.
Maybe they set up an eligibility meeting, but it takes a month to set that up. 
Maybe they instituted a new behavior plan and it’s not working.
Maybe they’re documenting new strategies to build a case for a different placement.
Maybe the kid is in the process of getting tested.

The school legally has to protect the child’s privacy, so there could be a whole kerfluffle behind the scenes and you wouldn’t know until next year when the kid is grouped with the special ed cluster. The process is s l o w.[/quote]

All of the above should be done with the kid removed. There are 20-30 other kids who are instantly more important and need to be saved than that one kid as soon as he or she has had multiple instances of violence. The laws need to be changed. And maybe sped parents with kids who have real learning disabilities need to disavow these types of kids. But that doesn't seem to be the case.[/quote]

Ugh. Disavow? The kid’s five. He’s doing the best he can. Maybe you have a beef with his parents, his brain chemistry, or the TBI he got this past summer. You don’t disavow the kid. [/quote]

Ugh. Do you think a violent kindergartner is worth more than every kid he attacks? The sting of shame might actually spur his parents do more to curb their child’s violence, to protect their own egos.[/quote]
