[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was forced in a mixed class and it was a disaster and he hated it.  He was scared to go to school every day as he'd get attacked every morning by another child who the school kept claiming was hugging him - my child was clear they were not welcomed hugs but school refused to stop them.  All day, every day, several kids had to be pulled out of the classroom and it was very disruptive and hard on some of the other kids like mine.  The school would complain my child was distracted and of course give everything happening and being physically attacked - hugged, grabbed, poked, what ever you want to call it.

I like the idea of mainstreaming but its not right for all kids in all situation and it can be an issue for other kids.[/quote]

Thank you.  But that is why I mentioned that this is a non -violent/ aggressive situation which ofcourse should be dealt with differently.[/quote]

How do you describe non-violent?  If he is being aggressive, its equally as bad for the other kids.  It should not be dealt with the same way.   You need to consider the other kids needs.  Your kid has behavioral issues.  Your kid is SN, like many of ours.  If he is not, then there is an issue at home or parenting.  He needs to be in private counseling to help him and you deal with it.[/quote]

It is not a tool to separate.  There is a rule called Least Restrictive Environment in special education law.  This means that a child who needs services will most likely get push in first, then pull out if needed.  Self contained classrooms are only considered in extreme cases. Children are considered to be in special education at all three levels.

Has your child gone to a social skill group in school or outside of school? [/quote]
