[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. From talking to other parents that are unhappy with the class atmosphere at least 3 and I suspect all of the disrupting students have an IEP, ie learning disability. They are not the only students in the class on IEP, one of my child’s friends for example is very sweet,  hard working and just always trying his best.

The reason this is relevant is that there is a school policy document that states students can’t be disciplined for a disability they have, but of course it’s difficult to say if the behavior is caused by the disability or it’s simply bad behavior that needs to be corrected. For example a student is diagnosed with lack of impulse control, so when he starts screaming is this a manifestation of the disability or he has a bad attitude? I could easily see how a disability can be cover for even the most egregious behavior.

Maybe this plays a role in the school not doing much about the situation, but there are lots of parents unhappy about it and thinking about changing schools.[/quote]

If I heard that you were talking with other parents in the way you have spoken on this site I would find you a disgusting person and avoid. Anyone who gossips about kids with IEPs has no class. That is none of your business and it's completely false that students can't be disciplined for a disability. No school would ever have such a document.

On the off chance that some child with a disability has a stim that means the child screams regularly I cannot imagine that the IEP would not have a plan to remove the child from the classroom when that happens or to put him in a more supported class. Nothing in your post sounds true. You sound like a hateful and prejudice busy body with anxiety and control issues.[/quote]

Not sure why you are on this thread. Apparently you know what’s happening in the classroom, how loud the kids are, the school policy, how each child is impacted by the disruptive behavior etc. I suspect you are the parent of a disruptive child and use this thread to justify your own bad choices in life. If that’s the case your input to this thread is not needed, feel free to check out. A therapy session would be the appropriate venue for that, perhaps the suggestion you made up thread was a Freudian slip.

There are kids with and without disabilities that are hurting other kids in their class. It can be physical bullying, verbal abuse, or, as in this case disruptive behavior that impacts their wellbeing and learning. Tolerating that behavior is in nobody’s interest, it is actually shortsighted because eventually those kids need to function in society with all the norms and expectations. [/quote]

No one is being hurt even OP’s child.[/quote]

If two teachers left, you’d have to assume that’s not good for the students either.[/quote]
