[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is this school located? It doesn't sound like a school around here because school around here aren't giving kindergarten students in school suspension.

How old is she? Did she recently turn 5 or is she 6 or close to 6? If she turned 5 this summer I would pull her out of K and send her back to preschool so she doesn't learn to dislike school. Some kids just aren't ready for an academic kindergarten right at 5.

Is she really verbal at home? Does she have any speech/language delays. The first thing I would do is to get an eye exam at an optometrist's office to make sure she can hear well and a new hearing screening at the pediatrician's office and make sure she doesn't have any fluid in her ears.[/quote]

My kids DCPS put her in “ISS” in K. They said wasn’t punitive, it was so she had a safe space to calm down and keep her away from a kid that was antagonizing her.  Yes, I gave them shit about it because the antagonist should’ve been the one separated (he was in ISS often) and they didn’t call me during the day to notify me! In fact the only reason I learned of it was because I saw the ISS behavior guy on the playground at pickup (because he had a second job working for the after care company…) and he told me then. I will always wonder if they would’ve ever notified me before I called the next morning to complain and see what the hell was going on.

My child no longer attends that school, we go to great lengths to get her to another school we got into via the DCPS lottery.  Her new school (also a DCPS) would NEVER do that to a K kiddo. They are quite a bit better resourced, though. [/quote]
