[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to do a better job with your own child, OP.  If you had taught her more about resilience and inclusion, she would not be in the situation she is in.  And also

- where is your empathy for the other child? [/quote]

Sure because at your place of work you have a fellow employee who spends the day screaming, crying, throwing items and forcing himself to vomit.

When you ride public transportation and you are seated next to someone who is screaming, crying, throwing items and forcing himself to vomit you willingly sit there for extended periods of time instead of getting up and moving. If you knew you had to be in close proximity with that person everyday you would find alternative transportation.

Any adult who said they were fearful of commuting to work because they had to be in close proximity for an hour to an individual like this wouldn't be thought of as having anxiety because they have a rational fear or not wanting to be vomited on or not wanting to have anything thrown at them.

What we expect general education teachers and other students in the classroom to deal with is just not right.

Not every student can be in a class with a large class size, so they need a class that meets their needs. School districts have removed these placement options. It isn't fair to the student having difficulty and isn't fair to the rest of the students and teachers. [/quote]

Yep, this. As a parent of a normal kid that has been affected by these out of control little monsters, I don't give a good god d*** about the other kid. Their mom can worry about them. [/quote]

Here's the thing: if you focus on trying to punish or hurt the other kid, rather than making things better for everyone, then the situation isn't likely to improve for your "normal child."

The problem is that resources have been gutted for special education services for children with high needs. It is incredibly challenging to get appropriate classroom supports, and nearly impossible to get special placements. That isn't going to change unless more parents speak up on the need to properly fund special
education.[/quote]

OP isn’t focusing on punishing the other kid.  She just wants him away from her kid- as probably all the rest of the normal kids’ parents want as well.  Forget increasing special ed services if schools can’t.  The least they can and should do is consolidate all the kids that can’t learn and behave in a normal classroom into the same classroom.  At least this way all the kids capable of behaving and learning aren’t robbed of an education [/quote]
