[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how it’s ok to let children stay in a classroom when they are physically and verbally assaulting other kids and the teacher.[/quote]
It isn't.  But there don't appear to be any options these days.[/quote]
Anyone physically assaulted should be contacting the police each and every time. Teachers and parents of children that are assaulted.[/quote]

Yeah,  let me tell you about that. I’ll just put it out right out there we’re in Loudoun County and my son was assaulted by another 4h grade student. I hear this students name over and over again every week in regards to language, class disruption, cafeteria physically touching students and their lunch. He turned on my son one day over a football game score! My son was physically injured. The school did nothing or maybe they did something but who the hell knows because they won’t discuss anything with you. What we were told was they were separated from each other and the student had an assigned lunch seat for one week. One week! We were given the name of the resource office in the middle school but because of the students age we couldn’t pursue anything further (assault charges)- which I get they are very young. But, at the same time a 9 year old knows right from wrong. What I don’t understand is why these sane students are allowed to, week after week, cause verbal and physical distractions? And why as parents of victims of these same students can we not get any resolution? I get that kids make mistakes, lose their cool, do stupid stuff but when it’s the same ones over and over it’s infuriating. What are these schools afraid of that the aggressors always seem to get away with it?! [/quote]
