[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about a sped kid acting out.

It's about the teacher not maintaining control of the class.

Incorrect.  Some students are so out of control, so often, it takes more than one person to help.  For example, in my class last year, I was fine with 17 of my students.  But the other two were a different story.  There was often 3-4 other adults in the room on a daily basis attempting to calm those two kids (mostly unsuccessfully).  When the behavior specialist, the sped teacher, the principal and a TA can't get a kid to stop raging, there's something more going on.  [/quote]

This was the case in my child’s class last year.  The vast majority of kids were relatively well-behaved, but a few kids who had, for whatever reason, significant emotional regulation issues.

Based on the class rosters, I cynically think the school deliberately put about 15 “easy” kids in with the 2-4 “toughest” kids in that grade in an attempt to balance the chaos and it backfired on a spectacularly bad way.  [/quote]
