Two sides to this and both have legitimate points of view. My child was in a class that was evacuated every few weeks in two different grades. I never even heard about it from her but a few parents mentioned it to me and I saw it happen once while volunteering. Not one of the kids seemed visibly upset. The evacuation was really quick and they just went to another classroom to continue the lesson. This was early elementary so it gave the kids a movement break and they continued with their lesson and were moved back into their classroom in about 5 minutes after another adult was able to come down and help the child who was upset.

DD has a friend with anxiety, and, her parents discovered a few years later, a learning disability. This situation was very difficult for her and the parents initially were in denial and blamed their DD's not being able to learn on the upset child. They did move her to a different classroom but found she was still struggling academically. This was about HER issue, not the other child's issue.

Public school is chaotic my friend and your child will encounter behavioral issues throughout K-12 so if this is making your child struggle you do have a right to bring it up with the administration but just know most students do fine with these disruptions.

Oh, ok, you're absolutely right, MY CHILD is the one who has problems, not PP's.  I have the feeling that next year, when DD is in a class full of peers and not constantly evacuated from class and doesn't have shit thrown at her multiple times a week, she'll be doing a lot better.  Have YOU ever had a desk thrown at you when you were at work?  Multiple times?  Threatened with scissors and sharp pencils???  You'd probably be anxious in that case, too.  You and PP are real peaches.[/quote]

You need to take a deep breath, PP. There are many other children in the same classroom and they are not reacting the same way as your child. No one is saying your child has a "problem." They are just suggesting you take a look at this issue from that point of view instead of blaming the classmate. My child has been in public elementary for 4 years and every year there is a child or sometimes two who acts out in various ways including throwing things like desks, pencils, and breaking things. None of them are targeting other students but just getting upset and expressing their frustration. [b]I think I and DS might feel differently if there was a child who was actively attacking students but we have not encountered that[/b]. DS has been injured by other students in classroom and on the playground. But those students are NT . The kids with special needs who get frustrated in class have not hurt any other student as far as we have heard in the 4 years.[/quote]

So you just agreed with PP.  You said you would think differently if your kid had been attacked.  PP said her childhad a desk thrown at her and has had to dodge scissors and sharp pencils.  So you're agreeing.  You would think differently if your son were in this situation.  So why are you telling PP to take a deep breath?  Just because your kid goes to a school with better behaved children?  I am very confused.[/quote]
