[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP.  I teach kindergarten and am not talking about my own child.  I've been hit, kicked and pushed on at least a dozen occasions by a child in the last 8 weeks.  My direct supervisor keeps telling me this is in the spectrum of normal.  As for the before and after, one time the student kicked me because when he asked for help with his backpack I was helping a student and needed him to wait a minute.  He literally walked over and started screaming at me and kicked me.  [/quote]

I'm sorry OP. It sounds like this child needs a behavioral intervention plan. This is not normal.[/quote]

He has one.  So far he is only responding sporadically to interventions.  It's a sh*t show.  I hate this part of my job.  The kid needs a special education classroom for emotional and behavioral disabilities (and NO, not all, not even most kids with disabilities are aggressive).  But he needs a different placement.  A couple of more years until my kids are through college and then I'm out. [/quote]

Are you getting any help from counseling or the resource teacher? Can they put a second adult in the room to help? If he has a BIP you're probably taking data and can request an emergency management meeting to figure out next steps for a plan.

I am horrified this is happening but please don't assume the kid needs a new placement. The kid needs help for sure but there are other things your school should be doing to help the child and to help you. The failure in this situation is your school, not the kid.[/quote]
