[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids never do anything wrong. Look at the kid who is suing the school for not giving him what he needs.
He gave a teacher a concussion and sent her to the hospital and is suing the school for not stopping him.
The teacher is always to blame (did you make sure they were challenged? Did you make sure he felt secure? Etc). [/quote]

The situation in Newport News is what happens when you have the trifecta of an unsupportive parent, unsupportive principal, and bad policy. The parent tried to go on national tv and put blame on her because “her son felt ignored” and he has adhd. This is an extreme example, but these behavioral situations are not as rare as we would like to think. Teachers only take 2 or 3 base level psychology classes when they are in college. The behavioral and therapy work that these kids need is far out of our scope of practice but they still end up in our rooms.[/quote]

Yes!!! This year I feel that I am not just a teacher. I need to be a therapist and SPED teacher and I’m not!!! Even my “adjusted” kids have very high emotional needs that I don’t always know what to do with. [/quote]

Every year for a long time I have felt this and it's getting worse. Teachers can't do it alll.....and it's all being thrown in our lap. Teachers need to start saying NO! Loudly and clearly. No one can teach or learn in the current situation. [/quote]
