[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow that sounds pretty bad.

When first seeing the title, I was willing to get the paraeducator the benefit of the doubt.  Where something might've been incidental contact and blown out of proportion.  And not to offend anyone but being identified as Special Ed can be a very wide spectrum and for a variety of reasons.

But to be actually be able to kick a kid in the chest seems to be pretty deliberate.[/quote]

No injury reported.

My guess is the para was sitting in a chair and she pushed the kid away with her foot when he grabbed her drink ([b]which she absolutely should not have had in the classroom[/b]).

This is why you shouldn't bring in minimum wage untrained people  off the street to care for disabled students.

Why not?[/quote]

It was soda. [/quote]

Are teachers prohibited from having soda?[/quote]

No, but they obviously shouldn't have it in the classroom in front of students. Come on.[/quote]

That isn’t reasonable.

Teachers can have soda in front of students. Some teachers have coffee or tea. Even energy drinks. This is ok. [/quote]

No, in certain circumstances, it’s not ok to have those things in the classroom. For example, if a child has dietary restrictions but because of their disability has impulse control issues, the teachers and paras/other staff should be aware and make accommodations.

A child was kicked and this is what people choose to harp on?? No wonder so many adults get away with abuse. So many justifications for adults who should know better.[/quote]

Do we know that there was a child in the classroom with a dietary restriction and an accommodation that staff could not have soda? Or are you creating a scenario because you want to micromanage other adults?

Not eating peanut products in a classroom where there are peanut allergic children is reasonable. Not eating any snack in a classroom because hypothetically a child might have a disorder related to that snack is not reasonable. [/quote]
