[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell my kid, "You worry about YOURSELF" stop worrying about what others are doing, you can't control your surroundings and if you need a perfect environment to do well you are never going to get that.

Do your work, worry about yourself and stop paying attention to the other kids.

"But the kid is loud"
Worry about yourself.
"But the kid breaks things"
Worry about yourself
"but the kids eats his bugger"
Worry about yourself
"But he burps his alphabet"
Okay, that one is cool, ask for lessons on the playground.[/quote]

I don't think you are understanding the other kid is attacking classmates, screaming, and smashing things. It is hard for a 5 year old to start kindergarten and witness that.  Would you be able to work if you had someone attacking coworkers, smashing things, and screaming around you? Would you dread going to the office! What if your boss said in response to your complaints, "worry about yourself". [/quote]

Isn't it remarkable how PC behavior allows people to completely ignore common sense? The minute, though, it's THEIR DC that is struck, well, watch how the 'ignore it' attitude changes.

I would ask to sit in and observe and if refused, demand the school counselor do so. I agree this kid is probably having a tough time transitioning, but this type of behavior in a group setting needs to be isolated from the others. Allowing it to continue sets a bad precedent.

My son caught an illness over labor day weekend that caused vasculitis for about a month. His inflammation markers were through the roof. The doctor told me it would gradually diminish, but expect behavior problems that would also diminish.

I notified the school when my son went back and we set up a program in advance, to separate him from the class when his behavior went sour. He would go help the principal in his office stamping papers, etc. As the month went on, he did this less and less, and by October, was back to being his normal well-behaved self. By separating him, it shielded the other students AND gave him a chance to get out of a situation that was too much to handle while his markers were still elevated. It was really a win/win for both my son, for the teacher, and for the other students.  The principal also said they had great conversations, and he missed my son not coming to his office to help.

The school CAN fix this for all. They just have to want to.[/quote]
