[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]
Assuming that the violent child transferred to a special needs school, can anyone please shed some light on how they address classroom violence?[/quote]

In alternative programs, “classrooms” are not always like what you see in a traditional school. Some kids get a quiet room where they are working in a beanbag chair. Some classes are totally hands on and experiential where the class is building something as they are discussing the lesson topic.

And there is tons more support like having social workers and counselors.

So what I’m saying is that these schools often provide an environment that will allow kids to be more successful. [/quote]

Funny how spending triple ($60K/yr vs $20K/yr for school) solves so many problems. [/quote]

Yes, accommodations for disabilities can be expensive. Do you think that's unique to schools?[/quote]
