[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you also call the girl who pushed OP's son into a coat rack violent? Sounds kind of aggressive to me. Why wasn't she suspended?
In the same way the school is telling her that was an accident you could argue the biting was also an accident. She didn't mean to push OP's son into a coat rack. My guess is he didn't mean to bite. He's acting instinctively as a toddler might in his own [/quote]

With typical through special needs kids, pushing and shoving is within the range of normal acting out behavior for a third grader. I would not consider that to be violent and I am sure most others would not either, absent violent intent.

Biting anyone as a child as old as OPs kid is indeed violent behavior, whether the kid is typical or special ed. It is far outol of the range for a behavior for a kid of that age, even if he is special needs.  If he were a biting two or even three year old preschooler or toddler it would be very different. But he is a third grader (8-9 years old) and biting from that age group is a violent behavior.[/quote]
