[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with OP and PP--I don't see how suspending a preschooler is at all appropriate or helpful. [/quote]

Then what is the alternative.  Mom would be more pissed if they moved him to a class for kids with behavioral problems.[/quote]

You can do interventions on children in a classroom setting. You don't have to move them. In situations where a child is exhibting difficult or extreme behaviors the parents, taechers and school support staff should convene for a SST meeting and create a behavioral plan for the kid and see if he needs different support systems (counseling? being tested for special education) The hard thing is that sometimes parents (paticuaraly in low SES backgrounds) are resistant to their child being labeled in any way even though having an IEP or 504 plan can do more to help a kid.

Do you want your kids in a classroom with a violent child who throws chairs.  [/quote]

No. But given that this behavior was repeating itself, clearly suspensions were not effective.[/quote]

Then maybe the parent should be looking at what she is doing with the child during that suspension day.  There is more to this story and this is a publicity stunt that clearly worked.[/quote]
