[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can work to help your own child be resilient, as others have said, but I also do think it's important to speak up to the teacher to find out more about what's going on. The teacher may not be able to say much, but the teacher may ask you to raise your concerns to the administration. It may be that the new child needs more support than the teacher is able to give, and the teacher may appreciate that you spoke up.

There is always going to be a certain level of disruption in a classroom that kids need to learn to deal with ... but sometimes situations rise to an extreme that really isn't workable. I speak from experience -- a few years ago, my child's teacher broke down into tears in front of her students because of the disruptive child, there were multiple times the class had to all leave the classroom so admin could calm down the child, etc. Nobody wasn't being well served.[/quote]

We had this same situation and in this case the teacher needed more training. They didn't realize this until they took data and saw that the child never had issues with subs or in specials. They sent a specialist from the district to observe the class and realized she has her own anxiety/control/OCD issues and was flying off the handle when little things went wrong. It wasn't just limited to this child but other children too and she was creating a very stressful atmosphere. They gave her an aide for a few months and in the summer she got more training. She continued to experience problems for 2-3 more years when the administration kept helping her. She is a nice teacher and good at some things but needed to work on classroom management. The formerly disruptive child had no problems the next year or any following years with new teachers. My child is in this child's class again this year and no problems.[/quote]
