[quote=Anonymous]My child has been "assaulted" at CMI and I have to say my initial reaction was "Expel  the kid that did it!" However, CMI chose an approach whereby they sought to address the underlying reasons for the child's  behavior while at the same time dealing with the immediate situation. It is the "whole child approach".  Looking back on things now I think that if I were the parent of the kid who did the assaulting I would be grateful for CMI's approach as the child has improved behaviorally over time. As the parent of the kid who was hit, my kid is okay and wasn't scarred for life. I think CMI admin is engaged in a difficult balancing act and only time will tell what the correct approach is. My view now is that this is a economically and culturally  diverse public  school. If you don't want to deal with some elements it is best to go private or a WOTP DCPS with less diversity (JKLMM) where there are undoubtedly fewer challenges.  Also CMI has a higher special ed percentage than other comparable schools and a higher number of "quirky" kids that affects the dynamics. [/quote]
