[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MS child came home with a story about a student calling a teacher an a-hole and telling her to shut up in class today in front of everyone. This student isn't from the community and comes on a special program. It took 15 minutes for security to arrive, and the boy has been talking to the teacher like this all week. Kids said the teacher was crying. If the kid is back in class on Monday, I hope the teacher goes straight to the union. [/quote]

MCPS will say that the teacher should have built a better relationship with the student. [/quote]

THIS!

Possibly, MCPS will blame the teacher for being racist.  Or MCPS will push some restorative justice nonsense.

When shit happens they always blame the teacher or suggest building a relationship.  Honestly though as frustrating and unrealistic as it is building a relationship is the best way.  Just asking a kid how they feel can go a long way.   But when a kid comes into class upset or wound up there is not a whole lot a teacher can do.   I used to work in  alternative school in a neighboring county.  I have been cussed out plenty of times sometimes daily.  Threatened a few times.  It sucks and it is draining.  You can’t teach in a situation like that.  It shuts down the whole room.

What needs to happen with a kid like this is that every teacher of the student has a meeting a meeting together with admin and the therapist of the program.  Discuss what to do so everyone can be consistent.  Follow a order of responses outlined in a Behavior intervention Plan BIP designed for the kid.  MCPS doesn’t seem to like BIPs though for the ED programs I am familiar with.  [/quote]
