[quote=Anonymous]Veteran teacher here. You can report an assault to law enforcement even if there isn’t a mark on you. The other kids in the room are experiencing secondary trauma by watching all this and being afraid for themselves or the adults. I would start calling parents (don’t put it in writing) and telling them that their child might seem a little stressed because the room had to be cleared today because a student hit people or whatever, and you just want them to know their kid might need some TLC. The parents need to push back on this, but can’t if they don’t know.

You also should try to document this in terms of lessons you didn’t get to because of this child, so that your evaluation doesn’t suffer if kids aren’t achieving benchmarks.

I know that calling the police sounds drastic for a little kid, but that’s how kids get moved and access to help and appropriate placements.

In some districts you have the right to request that the child not return to your room because of assaults towards you. Look at your school board policies online.

I’m sorry this is happening. [/quote]
