[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for those who don't want to subscribe to the Globe and Mail, here's the article:

There was far too little attention paid in this to the kids who were impacted - stomachaches, anxiety - by Grayson.

The principal was standing firm on the expulsion and good on them. This kid tried to push an adult down stairs, concussed another, and was only 7. His mother was verbally abusive to staff.  Thank god for that principal and for the parents who were ultimately pushed to point out that dozens of other kids were being harmed by the inclusion of this one child.

When you have children they are your responsibility. Yours. You have to take a primary role in getting them into schooling that meets their needs. It will always be a moral stain and failure for parents to insist their kids deserve gen ed when they harm others. This mother and father have means, have time, and insisted - despite there being no indication that they speak the language at home - that their boy who attacked others, merited French immersion gen ed all day school. They knew as reported that when he was overwhelmed at being academically behind, he attacked. They still resisted even leveling down to English all day gen ed school. How fkn selfish is that? They wanted him to be viewed as bright and capable in very narrow ways where he patently cannot do the work, he does not have that ability. They refuse to parent the kid that they have, and instead want the teachers to work miracles, and avoid concussions.

This story very much mirrors what ‘striving’ ‘aspirational’ UMC parents want for their heinously out of control children in my area. Kids, at the elementary level, primarily boys, who cannot do certain work without exploding and attacking. They should all be expelled. Please note, I do not seek to violate privacy by demanding a right to know about disabilities or IEPs. That’s not my role, that is the role of their parents and the school. My role is to advocate for my DC and those impacted by the out of control children. I’m only grateful that parents like the mother profiled in the Globe and Mail piece are so monstrously self-absorbed that they tell on themselves - they want a school to create a G&T well-mannered and well-socialized child when that child has no ability whatsoever to keep to those standards. They see their jobs as reproducing and nothing else. It is what it is.[/quote]
