[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was me as an unmedicated ADHD kid. It is the teacher’s job to ensure a functional learning environment for the entire class. It is your job to help him reframe the arrangement into a positive and mitigate the harm to his self esteem. [b]You can’t expect the teacher to sacrifice other children’s learning for him[/b]. That’s not fair or reasonable to anyone.[/quote]

That's the whole point of FAPE. He just needs the diagnosis. [/quote]

An IEP can get the child goals , but does not allow the child to just disrupt others all day.[/quote]

Except it does. These kids are ruining school for everyone else - put them in the self contained room where they belong.[/quote]

A kid distracting himself and other kids by talking too much does not belong in a self contained classroom. They need to sit someplace where they are not distracting other kids. The Teacher and parents should be working together to figure out how to stop the talking and distractions. It is annoying but it is not dangerous and is pretty common for Teachers to have to deal with. Granted, it’s easier if the parents are working with the Teacher and it doesn’t sound like that is happening with this child. The OP makes it sound like she has heard from the Teacher regularly about the talking and it finally escalated enough that the boy was moved to sit by himself next to the Teachers desk. Moms response is not to fix the issue but to worry about her kids self esteem.

A kid throwing things, hitting, kicking, biting, or destroying the classroom belongs in a self contained classroom.

Op sounds like she has not disciplined the child. If she did, he would have stopped disrupting class and wouldn’t have to sit next to the teacher.

I have a well behaved kindergarten daughter. She has a kid at her table who gets and iPad and doesn’t listen to the teacher. Everyday I ask her how her day is and most of what she tells me is about all the bad things this boys at her table does. I am sure he has some sort of learning disability since he gets and iPad. She said he gets an iPad so he can be quiet. My daughter seems to still be learning.[/quote]

Gawd you are ignorant and vile. Brag some more to us about your perfect girl child who shouldn't have to be around this loser. [/quote]

I also have 2 older boys. I would visit their classroom very occasionally. I clearly remember when my oldest was in first grade, I went to volunteer for something, maybe a class party. I clearly remember one boy wandering around the classroom not listening. In just that 20 min, I saw the teacher correct and follow this child around most of the time and ignore the rest of the class.

One year I went to take cupcakes for my son’s birthday. I had heard my son tell me about this boy who gets to use his iPad in class. I thought nothing of it. He was crying and screaming in the middle of the cafeteria. No one was helping him. I told an aid and the assistant principal who was walking around the cafeteria. I thought it was a huge emergency. I later saw the special education teacher as I was walking out walking with the boy. She said he is like this everyday. I felt really bad for the boy.

I am totally empathetic towards children with special needs. I think they absolutely should get the help they need. I do not think they should necessarily be in the same classroom if they will be disrupting the class and prevent other kids from learning.[/quote]
