[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does seem silly as hearsay but at the same time, some of the students in the news in recent years were having issues as early as kindergarten. Let’s get these kids help sooner![/quote] We will continue To hear about violent Students incidents until they are removed And educated Separately. Separate but equal education is acceptable in this situation.[/quote]

I think schools are in such a tough spot these days. I know our ES has a couple kids who have behavioral and violence issues and they have a 1:1 aide that follows them all the time. They don't get to go to recess or lunch because they are separated from the other kids. I don't think they get to learn much because often they are just sitting in the office or being followed by an aide around the school. But the system sucks because 1) the kids with the issues are clearly not getting an education nor are they getting real services or help (because the parent refuses or doesn't have money for private help and the school doesn't have the resources to be everything to the kid) and 2) because the system isn't perfect and other kids still get hurt or impacted. But I feel like school's hands overall (and across the nation) are really tied in a lot of these situations. It's not fair to anyone.

To be fair, I don't know how things differ from when I grew up (80s/90s). I remember violent kids in my school and they were never kicked out of school. I know in ES my kid threw a desk at a teacher and he was back the next day (this would have been 92 maybe?). [/quote]
