[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s normally not the teachers. Especially when we’re talking about younger kids. It’s administrative/district/legislative policies and laws.

This article is a few years old, and was about a kid in Canada… but it applies to how a lot of the policies in our public schools. The states are too.

If this thread we’re commenting on interests you at all, I promise you that you’ll want to read this article.

Go search the subreddit for teachers on reddit about inclusion. The vast majority of teachers are just as exasperated about having their hands tied. And they note that nothing will change unless parents of other kids in their class get involved in advocating for change/contacting the media/etc.

Thank you for posting this - I unlocked the article and am reading. Wow, wow, wow at his parents (I’m a few paragraphs in.)

There’s an element that’s hard to discuss for some people. I’m 50, and have an aunt with developmental disabilities who got instruction from MCPS and she and other adult disabled learners were periodically attacked by someone during class. The distinction is that that person would be removed, and ultimately expelled. This Canadian kid deserved the expulsion and then some but the distinction is that today - or 2019 - the parents take effectively no responsibility at all, even in retrospect, even apparently internally, when their child concusses an adult, or shoots a teacher, and so on. It’s a different world. There is no community and there is quite literally zero voluntary acknowledgment of the chaos and severe injuries when and where and on whom they are inflicted by way too many parents of these kids.
