[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my daughter is in a similar situation, although it sounds like not quite as frequent.
It sounds like her school has been trying hard to keep the time when the kids are evacuated useful, or at least pleasant/fun.  When it was still warm/nice enough to go without coats, they'd take the kids to the playground. Now it sounds like the teacher grabs a book and they do read-alouds in the art room/computer room/gym/wherever there's currently an empty space.  
As terrible as it sounds, it sounds like at least part of the solution for YOUR child is for the teacher to make the evacuation time more useful.

Also, as a PP said, don't focus so much on it when talking to your daughter.  My DD is really just rolling with it, and doesn't seem too bothered, and I'm certain if I asked her about it she'd start focusing and thinking these evacuations were "bad" rather than just sort of a normal part of the day and a chance to get out of the boring classroom.[/quote]

I would be raising holy hell at the school until my child was placed with another teacher. And I’d make it clear that that child was never to be put with my child again. Elevated cortisol can impair cognitive function and these kids are having cortisol spikes every time this kid goes haywire.

Nope nope nope nope nope.[/quote]

Plus it teaches the other 24 children that there are no consequences to bad behavior (or disregulated behavior).  The other children see that it is okay to assault the teacher
and throw chairs and nothing happens other than a tour to the hallway for the behaved children.[/quote]

My DS'  and his friends take away (at least from what I heard from them or their parents) was that they knew they couldn't do it, but it was ok if Larla did it because of her issues. All it did was ostracize Larla further.  The kids wanted nothing to do with her.  And that likely just made her behavior worse.   His teacher (before I got him moved from the class) said that DS pretty much just ignored the girl who had the outburts.  Which is what we were happy with.  But other kids were definitely mean to her because of it.  I volunteer and had witnessed her outburts and some kids would roll their eyes and say "great,.the psycho is at it again".  The teacher and aide were beyond frustrated and had stopped correcting them after a month.   There is no good answer.  The school was able to move 5 of the 16 kids out of the class before there was no room to move anyone else.   The environment was not good for anyone and I do think that girl was failed by multiple people in her life. [/quote]
