[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPs who want lots of special services or separate schools for disruptive kids who aren't diagnosed are being totally unrealistic. Educators know that a kid taken out of mainstream will have a worse outcome, so taking an action like that, if it were even possible, has serious consequences, and educators care about every kid.

It takes many years to ascertain what a kid's problems are. An evaluation requires that teachers/parents all agree and have decided to take an action for a child who is learning disabled, ADD, traumatized, or all of those, and after that, you want to see if improvements happen following interventions, and all of that takes time. Years.

You want to say that a 1st grader who threw a chair should be condemned immediately? That is not happening. Nor should it. How many infractions before a little child is sent out of mainstream? Seriously, who are you to judge how it should go?

If you want lots more money spent on special services in schools, you're going to need to be an activist for that, and vote that way.  The kids at school reflect the community you live in. You want to make it better as a whole.

Yes and that process of years long seeing if mainstream works for a kid works FOR THAT ONE KID. But in the meantime dozens of other kids need to endure chairs flying around and their classes being regularly disrupted. That’s not acceptable and is why eithe the law or the process for dealing with those deeply troubled kids needs changed. [/quote]

I’m going to be honest I do not care about the violent chair throwing kid. Get them out of the classroom and put them who cares? I care about the regular kids who are victims of this violence. [/quote]
