[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s talk about the adults at this school that YELL at him , call him stupid and try to hold him. My kid tells me this and that kid needs more help, let’s not assume what we do not know . [/quote]

Let’s remember that a child’s retelling of a story is not always exactly accurate and oftentimes can be exaggerated. “Trying to hold him” sounds like blocking or restraining for very obvious safety reasons. School staff members are not hired nor paid enough to be physically assaulted by 5 year olds, or students of any age for that matter. The child needs more support and neither the parents nor principal are seeming to have any urgency on getting them placed somewhere that they will receive that support. It’s very hard to believe any of the teachers at SCES would ever call a child stupid. The safety of the students and staff is priority, and when you have a child as unpredictably violent as this one, sometimes physically removing or blocking the child is the only option to ensure that safety.

Sure, Jan. Just look at the comments from MCPS teachers in threads like these.  They're clearly not above yelling at a child and calling him stupid.[/quote]
