[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, all of the speculation about the other child doesn't solve your problem.  Here is how to solve your problem.

You immediately schedule an appointment with the Principal.  At the meeting you tell the Principal that 1) your child feels unsafe and in danger on a daily basis, 2) your child is not able to learn because she is feeling unsafe and constantly on edge because she is concerned about being hurt or that another outburst will occur, and 3) your child needs a placement that provides her with the same gifted services but removed from the danger.  It will help your case immeasurably if you document several instances that were particularly egregious and describe the negative impact on your child.

You should encourage other parents to go in and argue the same points.  If enough voices are raised then the other child will be moved to a placement better suited to his needs.  Until then the school system is content to let the situation occur.  If there is not a major change in a week then you escalate.

In other words, right now the other child's parents are being the squeaky wheel.  You need to out-squeak them.  [/quote]

In other words, you are advising OP to lie. The original post said "It has come to our attention that my child's classroom has a gifted child with social issues...Apparently this has been doing on since the beginning of the year but we just learned of it." Hard to believe it is having such an adverse impact on OP's child when nothing had been mentioned until now. [/quote]

[b]There is no liar here except you.  You've conveniently left out the 2nd sentence.  Here is OP's full 1st paragraph.[/b]  I've highlighted the relevant sentences since you seem to have reading comprehension issues.

[quote]It has come to our attention that my child's classroom has a gifted child with social issues.[b] He will attack other kids, throw desks and disrupt the classroom[/b]. Apparently this has been doing on since the beginning of the year but we just learned of it. We have asked our kid to tell us when these incidents happen and what they are. [b]It happens as infrequently as once a week and as frequently as three times a week. When an incident happens they clear everyone else from the classroom and they sit in the hallway until the kid can be calmed down. No one can touch the kid and a counselor and principal are brought in.[/b] [/quote]

Tell the truth, PP.  Always.  Shame on you for not telling the truth.[/quote]

How does adding back in any of that change the fact that the parent just found out about this. Her kid can't be that traumatized if she never mentioned it before now! Therefore how can it be said the kid feels unsafe on a daily basis and is unable to learn?

Sure, go ahead and complain, and document. But do it honestly. [/quote]

DP. Oh, come on. You are being truly awful here. I was sexually assaulted as a child, but was too scared to tell anyone for a very long time. Are you going to tell me too that I didn't feel unsafe and wasn't traumatized because I didn't tell anyone? Is that really your take on kids? [/quote]

Are you actually comparing the behavior of a dysregulated child to that of an adult child molester/predator.  Get help.  Stop projecting.[/quote]

I was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a fellow student, not an adult. I went to school every day regardless. I told no adult because I was terrified. Your insistence that a child who doesn't talk about trauma at school isn't traumatized is horrific. You are truly an awful person.[/quote]

Again get help.  I am not an awful person and I think people need to be stop throwing around the trauma drama.  It is trivializes true trauma victims. There are adults in the room tasked with protecting these kids. Nothing is happening behind closed doors in secret. You might not like how it is being addressed but it is being addressed. [/quote]

You are indeed awful, and terribly cavalier about victims.[/quote]
