I keep seeing this mentioned, I've worked in schools for over 15 years, can only recall one incident a desk was knocked over, is this a situation being exaggerated?[/quote]

When you’re in a class with a child that flips desks, it happens many times a year.[/quote]

Okay, but how common is that. [/quote]
My first grade daughter witnessed a classmate throw a chair several times this year. Today a boy in her class tackled the classroom teacher and started punching her.

Zero consequences I bet.[/quote]

My understanding is the boy has special needs so can consequences be given? What consequence could be given to a six or seven year old?[/quote]
Your understanding is wrong, as usual.[/quote]

FACT. I am a teacher. We dealt with a serious physical alteration. Principal recommended suspension, central office said it was not permitted due to an IEP. The IEP was for speech... Elementary school principals have their hands tied.[/quote]

The behaviors have to relate to the IEP. You can have consequences for physical alterations if their speech goals are unrelated to their behaviors. [/quote]
