[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was in a 1st grade class with a boy who would regularly walk out of class and yell at the teacher she couldn’t touch him as he kicked her shins and threw things at her. He thought it was funny to hide after recess so the teacher and playground aides had to go looking for him. He was a really smart but incredibly defiant kid and he sucked up half of the teacher’s time. His mother would blame everyone for not understanding her spirited child and complained about poor supervision. She was talking to someone at pickup and her child approached her and gave her his backpack. The mom kept talking and the boy took off. She couldn’t find him and loudly blamed the school for losing him. She posted on social media about the poor supervision but left out the fact she was at the school and he should have been under her supervision. My son learned very little that year. And neither did his classmates. [/quote]

This happens more than people realize.  Its very frustrating as the parents are 1/2 the problem and the child is the other 1/2.  They both need help - parents with parenting and child with behavior/mental health or it only gets worse.  [/quote]

no, the schools are the problem for sitting on their hands and pretending that there is nothing they can do without an IEP for disruptive behavior and eloping. There is a LOT they can do, but they don’t - out of laziness or (I suspect) and institutional approach of letting the situation escalate until it creates its own solution (kid gets suspended, assigned to a contained classroom, leaves school, etc).  Wash rinse and repeat until kid gets old enough to arrest, expell, or drops out. [/quote]

Even with an IEP, schools only can do so much if parents don't agree.  A school can fast track an IEP to get a child a specialize placement and parents can refuse the placement.  We had that several times at our school where child would be better served elsewhere and parents refused.  Sadly, one of the paraprofessionals was a huge gossip.[/quote]

false. there are many, many evidence-based approaches to deal with behavior that do not require and IEP. And working collaboratively with parents (as opposed to blaming/accusing/diagnosing) would earn trust and cooperation. [/quote]
