[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any way you can swing private school or even private online school for a year? I'm a teacher and can tell you there's probably no way the school will get this under control if two teachers in the grade level have already left. That means the remaining teachers are doing extra work and most likely burning out fast. [/quote]

This is not typical public school behavior.  Schools would immediately have them removed from the class.   They could get in school suspension, doing their work on their own.   [/quote]

Ha ha ha. Public schools do not immediately remove anyone from classes anymore or give ISS unless it’s something egregious. [/quote]

Yeah, thanks for the laugh.  Disruptive kids are in nearly every public school class from K-12.  It does get better (fewer occurrences) in middle and high school if they are in honors or AP classes.  Our middle school does have a room they send kids that are being disruptive despite the teacher’s interventions.  But it is one room- it fills up most days.  If it is full, the kid has to stay in class. [/quote]

It's normal, or else the kids would have removed a long time ago.

I think kids screaming for hours on end would not be normal but what OP describes in her clearly exaggerated and exasperated tone sounds like something that would overwhelm an inexperienced teacher but that a veteran could handle properly. You are talking about disruptive kids that exist in every classroom in the country.

If your child is really upset by this you need to get your child evaluated by a professional because this will continue through HS in public. If she cannot handle this, it sounds like you have money for private and you should use it.
