[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this child bullying her? If not, she needs to toughen up. [/quote]

Seems like the child is bullying the entire class. Also seems like the child isn't being served either. [/quote]

If the child has some type of disability they are not bullying the class, they are unable to control themselves and that leads to disruptions to the class. I get that people are worried about all the students in the class but try not to be so callous as to not understand that most kids do not want to disrupt everything around them. Whatever is happening, it is likely that the child is struggling with dysregulation and needs help. It is scary for the other kids but it is not intentional.

The posters who are suggesting that the child was moved to a different class as part as the schools process to evaluate and record what is happening so that the school can move the child to a more appropriate environment are probably spot on. It is not as simple as noting some behaviors and moving a kid, there is an entire process. It is a pain in the butt for the student, the classmates, the Teachers, and the Administration.

And it sucks for the OPs kid. which is why the OP emailing the Teacher with a message about how her child's education is impacted is important. It gives the Teacher additional info to provide the Administration about the child's impact and can help the process along. But the email needs to focus on the experience of the OPs child, her responses to the disruptions, and stay neutral on the other child.

It sucks for all. It really does. OP should be focused on her kid and is doing the right thing but there is no reason for adults to be referring to a kid who is out of control for god knows what reason as a bully and assuming that the disruptive child wants to be behaving like this. [/quote]

While I have a lot of sympathy for the child, I have a child who was a victim of one of these children regularly.  My child goes to the nurse at least once/month for injuries from the child in his class.  My child has been hit in the head by books, has been strangled because he checked out a book at the library that the other child wanted and the child strangled him to make him give up the book.  My child has been bled from having a chair thrown at him that hit him in the head.  My child has been kicked and has had black and blue bruises from this child.

While the school must serve them, I do expect the school to protect my child from this  I spoke with the teacher on a number of occasions and the teachers have finally moved my child to the opposite side of the room from the disruptive child.  At least now, he no longer comes home injured on a regular basis.

OP--you need to get your child's teacher involved and you need to explain the effect that the migrated student is having.  While the teacher cannot move the child out of the class, they can and should do what they can to insulate the other children from the migrated student where possible.  Perhaps just moving the children so that your child is sitting on the opposite side of class will help her if the disruptive child is not near by.  But, you need to involve the teacher so they can do what is within their power to help as many children in the class as possible.  But the parents need to communicate with the teacher so the teacher knows which children need more help.  [/quote]

100% Your child should not be in danger and should not be hurt.

I just think that bullying is an intentional act and not the act of a child that is suffering from a disability or illness or issue that is causing dysregulation. Many of the extreme cases of kids out of control are not deliberate. I don’t expect the kids to get that but I would hope that adults can see it while advocating for their kid.

The disruptive child needs to be in a different environment. It is awful for everyone when the child is acting out. It is bad for all the kids in the class whose education is being interrupted. It is worse the kids who are hurt. You have every right to expect your child is protected.

OP should be communicating with the Teacher and Principal whenever there is an issue. 100%

I know people who want their kid moved and the school has been slow in making the move because they have to have enough documentation to justify the moved. It killed one person I know because they were getting reports home from the school everyday that 1-2 pages long with what happened in the class. All they wanted was their child moved to the appropriate location so they could start addressing the problem. The school took an extra month to make the move so they had a full report to justify the move. And that is a case where the parents support the move and are asking for it.

Not every parent can afford SN school and if the child is not in school they can not develop a file to move the kid. It sucks for everyone. It is not a satisfactory situation. [/quote]
