[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best suction is yo have a trained special ed teacher 1:1 with the difficult child in the regular class, and a designated calm down resource room. Dcps doesn't want to pay for that.[/quote]

PP here from yesterday with the daughter who was touched inappropriately in PK.

Angry PP, the subject of this thread is the suspension of PRESCHOOLERS. As in, children less than 5 years old. The school policy to which I'm referring is for an elementary school. The discipline policy for the three and four year olds is different than the one for older elementary students because it recognizes that an approach that is developmentally appropriate for a 5th grader is not likely to be developmentally appropriate for a 4 year old. So this talk of high school students fighting on the metro is contextually inappropriate and should not be presented in a rational debate about the policy that this thread was started to discuss.

PP who mentioned the resource room, that's actua exactly what my school has. It's pre far down the list of consequences for poor behavior though. There are other things that are tried first to encourage the child to correct the behavior without excluding the child from class: verbal warnings, a trip to a quiet area of class to pull it together, etc. To the best of my knowledge, in a school of 400 kids, very few end up in the reset room.
