Here, we get to hear about how nothing ever ever happens to disruptive violent kids.  [b]They just get sent back to class.[/b][/quote]

I had a student this year that was removed for 10 minutes to fill out a “reflection sheet” after hitting another child. On the third physical instance in a day he would be sent home. He was always allowed to return the next day.

did he improve over the year?[/quote]

DP but why would he? Hitting another kid got him staff attention, an opportunity to escape class and avoid doing work, and eventually, a chance to go home early. I'd bet any amount of money his parents let him spend those afternoons on his phone or watching TV. Why on earth would the child stop the behavior?[/quote]

then this is a failure of the school to implement a BIP that works. there’s nothing the parents can do if behavior is getting reinforced at school.

How do you know the student had a BIP? Some parents won't sign off on that. It sucks but there's very little the school can effectively do if the behavior gets reinforced at home. Hitting another child should mean you don't get to spend the afternoon chilling on the couch with your favorite things, regardless of whether or not you get sent home early. It's also the school's prerogative to look out for the other students. Removing the child who is hitting allows the other kids to 1. not get hit and 2. not have their class time disrupted every time the child hits. [/quote]
