[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the teachers, but school administration.  Schools should have a room turned into a cell.  Poor behaving kids placed inside, paddy-wagon comes by and picks them up and off to juvenile detention.

Oh wait that’s not equitable, never mind. [/quote]

Yes, that certainly sounds like a thoughtful plan and helpful rhetoric.

It's incredible there isn't more trust, confidence, and support for reform with great ideas like that getting flung around.[/quote]

Please read the post of this kind of mom^^ - from the locked thread linked to below.

OP’s kid is a snitch. Give me a chair thrower any day.

As it happens one of ours was very intense in pre-K and ES. No chair throwing necessarily, but he had a lot of challenges, outbursts, and beat the hell out of a few kids over the years. (Normal ES fights, no permanent damage… for those of you scandalized by a little boys being boys.)

Anyway, we’re very rich, and dedicated, got him all the right doctors and meds and therapists (took a ton of effort). And now he’s absolutely THRIVING… has always been 99th percentile academically and is now harnessing that even more, he’s well-liked, happy, works hard, has a lot of friends. Top of his class and has a great life ahead of him.

The point? Reducing a 6 or 7 year old child to “a chair thrower” is a pathetic, weak ass, limp noodle, bullying tactic… suggests to me a parent with no integrity, likely just looking for space to feel better about the mediocre bag of milk you’ve raised.

Many parents with significant means - not just parents in hardscrabble circumstances - truly in their hearts do not give a fk on any level about the damage their kids do to other kids. They are sociopaths raising sociopaths, and different laws like IDEA preclude schools from setting consequences that can be construed as penalizing kids who attack and ‘beat the hell out of’ others. I’m in a similar economic stratum and I see this all the time. People with all the power in the world - according to them! - who twist words and life beyond coherence, where parents objecting to things that hurt their kids are ‘bullying’ abusive kids and their selfish parents.

Parents of violent kids do not see themselves as living in a community, at all. They have no concerns for the victims of their kids, including the teachers. It is what it is.[/quote]

OK, but with that attitude, you must realize you're going to pick up a lot of enemies and detractors. And that that will ultimately limit your ability to successfully lobby for change.
