[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are we supposed to trust FCPS to teach children when they can’t do the basic minimum of keeping everyone safe?[/quote]

Should we tie up the child with special needs? Restrict them to a 6x6 room? Not allow them to have recess?[/quote]

So what is your solution? The child is attacking kids and teachers at recess. The child has an aide with them, so there is a known issue. Why can’t there be a consequence for the child's actions, like solo recess indoors. The idea that the child is allowed to continue to hurt other kids because they have an IEP is what angers people. Why is it ok for other kids to be hurt because another child has an issue? [/quote]

Increase teacher to student ratios for kids who need this type of support. We’ll also need to increase salaries to entice the additional staff to take these specific jobs.[/quote]

[b]Or you can stop mainstreaming kids who are violent.[/b]

My kids have been in classrooms where, due to special programs, there were 4 or 5 adults in the room at all times, and at least 2 of those were paras. The kids all know which adults are assigned to which kids.

And to a PP's point, my kids were in AAP classes.[/quote]

This is such common sense you'd think it would be a no-brainer.  Why should all of the other kids have to suffer due to the uncontrollable behavior of the few?[/quote]

All you’ve done is think of an idea, you didn’t think through the next 3 steps where the problems start to occur. So in fact, it is not a no-brainer.[/quote]

Why don't you walk us through the "next 3 steps" since you seem to be the authority here.  We'll wait.[/quote]

1. Find buildings
2. Find staff
3. Find money[/quote]
