[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I teach kindergarten and elopement isn’t a typical behavior. I might have a student every few years so this and almost all of them have gone on to be diagnosed with ASD, ADHD, etc. it sometimes might be a trauma response (I’m in a Title 1 school). Our recent elopements are kids with undiagnosed ASD or children raised with zero limits in their home. They do whatever they want, whenever they want.

Right. So when a child elopes more than once, you would expect that the school pushes for more support for you and services for the kid. Right? [/quote]

Different teacher here. It all moves a lot faster and easier if the parents aren’t in denial or “shocked” we think something is amiss. [/quote]

And OP isn’t that parent. That said - it is totally normal for parents to be shocked and not understand. This is the first time their kid has been in school often times. It really is on the schools to know how to have these conversations much better than they do. I will never really get over how incredibly poorly the teacher and school handled my DS when his needs were first becoming apparent. It kind of ruined my trust for a very long time. [/quote]
