[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Also a teacher. I agree with everything the previous teacher posters have said. No one wants that kid gone more than the teacher.

I’m in this position now. It’s been clear since the first week of school that one of my students needs a more restrictive environment. It takes twice as long to get through material as it should because I spend so much time dealing with this kid’s misbehavior, and the whole class is suffering. However, it’s only now, after over 4 months of documentation, interventions, team meetings, buddy rooms, and multiple suspensions that they are beginning the formal process for moving this child out. This will involve more interventions, documentation, and meetings. If things go smoothly, maybe the kid will move by March, but more likely the transition won’t happen until next year.

I try to handle everything on my own when I can, because as others have pointed out, getting admin involved just has negative repercussions for me. I learned this the hard way early in my career when admin decided there was an acceptable number of referrals a teacher could write. Those of us who exceeded that number were publicly berated at a staff meeting, then forced to give up our planning periods twice a month for a year to attend a classroom management course run by admin, where we were told to build relationships. It was not helpful. And is it surprising that most of the teachers in the course were those teaching inclusion classes?

Not sure there is much you can do as a parent other than try to get your kid switched to another class. Good luck.[/quote]
