[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that teachers, students, and parents would all be better off if discipline policies were changed to protect those in school buildings from the most disruptive students (who are a minority). Those truly disruptive, abusive, and unruly students take up too much time and emotional weight. Teachers should not have to suffer abuse at the hands of students, just as students should not lose out on their education due to serious disruptions by other students. Children need structure. By allowing this minority of students to have so much power, teachers are exhausted, and children learn that rules are optional. Parents, too, wind up in defense mode. Getting zeros for late or missing work seems excessive when other students can burst in and out of classrooms, throw items at teachers, and attack other kids at recess. Seriously. If you want discipline, then find a way to address the kids for whom conventional discipline strategies don't work. [/quote]

+1 You are exactly right. It used to be that such students received instruction in separate schools. With FAPE, appropriate supports, and medication, many of those students can now be successful in a more inclusive setting. Those who continue to exhibit the types of behaviors you described should not be walking the halls freely with the opportunity to harm other students, faculty, and staff. Many parents would be shocked to realize the degree of violent behaviors that some of these kids have demonstrated and could potentially do so again.[/quote]
