[quote=Anonymous]Experienced teacher here. The district has put such an emphasis on not sending kids to CSS programs until they have spent six months or more “gathering data” and trying things like a sticker chart. Some of these kids have past trauma, mental health diagnoses, and family struggles and the child needs an alternative school placement now! They can come back to their base school as soon as they improve, but it’s not like sending them to jail for life to make the move now. It’s insane that the CSS schools have such a drop in student population when everyone knows so many kids are struggling. Going to a smaller, therapeutic program is going to benefit these students so much more than having them be out of control so often, having their cortisol and adrenaline levels spiking, and the secondary trauma on the other kids witnessing these outbursts and teacher assaults cannot be overstated.

On top of this, so many of these kids have parents that refuse to get their kids mental health treatment, so the kid is falling apart daily and learning nothing. These parents should be referred to CPS for medical neglect. Mental health neglect is equal to medical neglect. A kid that was passing out from diabetes each day without treatment is on the sane level as a kid should is trashing rooms, screaming for hours, and attacking others. [/quote]
