[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did she put him on the bus when he was "stressed and uneasy" seems like setting the kid up for failure. [/quote]

Agree. [/quote]

What do you suggest, that they return the kid home?[/quote]

Do you really think that Someone who is supposedly has training in special needs shouldn’t have a backup plan for when a kid has a bad day? This incident should not have escalated in this way. [/quote]

Are you asserting that every escalation, every single one for every kid, can be avoided every time if you say and do the right things?

That's magical thinking. Most? Yes. Every? No guarantee.[/quote]

Where are you reading that someone said every escalation could be avoided?  You are making that up.  However, this seems like a pretty typical breakdown of an autistic kid being anxious and a paraprofessional doing things that made him worse (screaming, trying to restrain him.)[/quote]

Read what I quoted, just above my comment. The poster (you or someone else) is stating that a backup plan would have prevented escalation.

What this "seems like" to you -- without any specific evidence you can point to, such as the video which has not been released -- is not the same as certainty. Yet you claim it anyway.[/quote]
