That's what happens when you have poor parenting.[/quote]

The chair throwing, desk flipping students need psychological help (testing, medication, therapy, etc). That is hard for parents to admit to themselves. It’s a long road and they’d rather avoid it. They give in to the child’s every whim at home, which they don’t get a school (thus the outbursts). Unfortunately, these issues don’t go away on their own and as the child gets physically bigger the risk of another student or teacher being harmed increases.

In my experience, all parents deny and ignore at the beginning. Getting them over that hump to see the reality can be challenging. They don’t want their kid “labeled”, but, sadly, the kids at school have already socially labeled them.[/quote]

I am a parent of a chair throwing desk flipping student and your analysis is dead wrong. . . .

he does have a legal right to an education the same as every other child.

Mental health is a serious problem in this country, and your child's education will be effected if we can't collectively figure it out. [/quote]

NP.

I agree your child has a legal right to an education; every child in the U.S. has that right.

Problematic, however, is how you define “the same as every other child.”

If you define that as your child being entitled to “full inclusion” (which is the “I” in DEI) in a regular general education class, then that necessarily implies he has the right to throw chairs and flip desks in general education.

FCPS standard procedure in that case is to evacuate the entire class, leaving your child alone in the room, and necessarily halting any education during his outbursts.

FCPS procedure  for chair-throwing is depriving every other child their right to an education.

And that is only one problem with FCPS’ extreme interpretation of DEI.

Your child deserves a separate class with specialist teachers better trained to handle his needs.

Sorry if a separate class isn’t the “inclusion” you would like to have in some imaginary, ideal world.[/quote]

You revived a 3 year old thread for this?[/quote]

And, not only is it damaging to the instruction of the day, it is also upsetting to all the other kids and the teachers.  This is not a ten minute "break" from the day.[/quote]
