[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was it a “deal” or is this a legitimate way how schools are dealing with “troubled” kids (whatever the reason)?

Some parents with kids who were in the same classroom are obviously upset and terrified, but I haven’t heard anyone mention how utterly disruptive and inappropriate it is to have parents of one child in your child’s classroom every single day all day.  I can’t even believe this is allowed.  
100% this child needed to be out of the general classroom, and quickly.[/quote]

It was 100% a deal of some kind because admin could have referred him for evaluation and changed his placement . Parents do not have to consent to that. But admin didn’t. They also didn’t heed multiple warnings THAT DAY from teachers and kids despite him being a known threat from past incidents. The fact parents were allowed to be the daily support person and attend with him alone is highly unusual and a huge red flag. For reasons that will only later come out, admin allowed him to remain in a Gen Ed class with parent attending (except when they didn’t)  when he was a known physically violent student who also made consistent verbal threats to students. It’s a stunning display of absolute negligence but there is no way with the wording of their initial statement that the child has an actual IEP with an IDEA-categorized disability.  Admin and parents were working together to keep him out of sped and in Gen Ed. [/quote]
