[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I shouldn’t have to shell out 12k a semester for my kid to get a descent education.  We live in a nice school district.  We pay taxes.

Why is my 8-year-old coming home everyday telling me what the same kid did today in their class?

I truly feel for this kid.  Maybe he has a mental illness.  Maybe he has a bad home life?  But now my kid is anxious to go to school because of this kids outburst and behaviors.

This year alone he’s;

- threatened to kill several peers 
- flipped his desk almost weekly 
- grabbed a stapler and threatened another kid with it 
- had daily loud, disruptive and scary meltdowns 
- threatened to kill the teacher 
- refused to participate in any class activity 
- drew a sexually graphic picture on paperwork

Numerous other classmates and the classroom parent have confirmed these issues.

He’s sent to the office and then comes back.  Nothing is done.  How is this ok???[/quote]

Rightly or wrongly, kids with “issues” have legal protections that your kids don’t. So those kids get prioritized in terms of behavioral tolerance, accommodations, etc.  Indeed, many schools have become nothing more than SPED administration centers with a little bit of normal education on the side. The legal infrastructure needs to change in ways that is fair and equitable to all — and in a way that doesn’t view the needs of some kids as more “special” than others.
