[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]

They address classroom violence by having a small teacher to student ration and paras to help. Also, there’s an emphasis on avoiding triggers. Teachers also try to intervene before the violence happens—for example if they see the child becoming agitated they might offer the kid a sensory corner to calm down or otherwise provide a break.

These interventions aren’t possible in mainstream schools with one teacher for 25 students.

This is MENTAL ILLNESS “support” 
—  NOT EDUCATION —

These violent kids are learning nothing.
Why not just be honest?

I normally wouldn’t engage someone who is so ignorant. But because I think some people are generally wanting to understand, I want to assure you that there absolutely is learning taking place and many kids are finally able to achieve academically.

And for those that aren’t successful, they will be moved. Just because a kid gets accepted into an alternative program doesn’t mean the program has to keep the kid. If it’s not an environment where the kid will be successful, the school will open the slot to a different child and a new placement will be found (hopefully) that better meets the other child’s needs.
