[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I see a teacher pushed to the edge by a kid who had likely been a problem all year. Those kids exist. That being said, nothing excuses this and if he is in the place mentally where a difficult kid can push him to physical violence, it is time for him to leave the classroom. You simply cannot do this to any kid - yours or anyone else’s. [/quote]

Agree with this 100%. Another teacher here who has also seen the breakdown of function within the classroom and school. Gradually we have seen more and more students acting out of control and the lack of consequences for students who cuss out the teacher, rage out of control, etc. We used to have a couple kids per grade that were unable to disregulate, or needed a one-to-one for behavior but this year we seem to have several kids per class that have behavior that is unmanageable. I am trained in trauma-informed care and best practices but I am struggling this year because we have SO MANY kids that are struggling. It is impossible for one teacher to meet the needs of each student in the classroom. It is never acceptable to put your hands on a student we are not even supposed to touch their shoulder to guide them to the office or help them up off the floor (think Pre-k or kindergarten age student). We need more paras to assist with behavior issues and administrators who will take these behavior issues seriously so we are able to effectively teach ALL of the students in our class. [/quote]
