Ditto and ditto, but there are definitely teachers with small behavioral repertoires who can make kids with behavioral issues act out. Some teachers don't have the skills to handle some kids. Regardless this situation sounds like a real shit show and I can't imagine the parents are happy with the situation either.

What exactly is the school administration doing, OP? [/quote]

There are also kids who are bad matches for teachers and act out, especially if it's a very young kid. This is not the teacher's fault or the kid's fault other than the kid being immature. I have seen kids in K who act out a lot and then they go to 1st grade with a teacher with a completely different classroom style and they are angels.[/quote]

My son is in a K classroom with a teacher who has a master's in special ed and there aren't big discipline issues despite having a larger concentration of special needs students than most public school classrooms (including one who has a 1:1 aide).  My friend's son is in a K classroom where two kids have constant meltdowns and are segregated from the rest of the class.  She has said  the teacher just doesn't have the same knack for dealing with difficult kids that my son's teacher does.[/quote]

This happens. Some teaches are just magical.  signed: non-magical, but effective teacher[/quote]

We were in a mixed classroom and it was horrible.  My child was forced along with all the IEP kids and a group of non-IEP kids.  They had multiple staff and none could find the right balance.  A few kids should have been in specialized placements BUT, the real issue is that the school systems are no longer generous and most of us who are in public with SN kids are so tapped out paying for private services that we cannot pay for both.  We switched our kid out of the classroom after a long battle and this year is so much better.  BUT, we have a teacher who has taken the time to know my child vs. the other one who just saw IEP and assumed he was not capable and held him back.  It takes really good teachers but those are few and far between.

As far as parents complaining, its pointless.  I complained all last year and got the blow off.  I wanted my child removed.  Our school only allows select parents, rarely the SN parents to come in and volunteer.  Everything is closed and shut off to parents.  Really makes you wonder what is going on.[/quote]
