[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher of 17 years, it seems like every year for the last 7 years, this is my situation. The last two years were really tough as I have had between 4-7 children with ASD/ ADHD/ ED codes with gentle parents who are very passive about children who hit, kick, bite, have intentional BM’s, scream, destroy property and throw chairs and tables before eloping. The best thing I could do is document, protect the other children by moving to a designated location and calling for help, maintaining a very calm, routine and consistent schedule. It was still very difficult but we did get through those years. Parents were mostly understanding but I do personally feel upset because our hands are tied due to laws that protect the children with these disabilities that do work against the structure of a classroom. I also taught beforehand in a state that does not have home school model for SpEd. This is an extremely frustrating time in public education. If I were you, I would arm my child and practice using dolls on how to stay safe, advocate for herself and use every parental right I can to protect my child. I read you are not open to a private school so this is my recommendation. [/quote]

INTENTIONAL BMs?? Dear lord. One of the years my kid had one of these kids in his class I remember talking to his teacher about it and I just felt so bad for her and what the administration was expecting her to deal with on her own. As a parent I cannot understand why as a parent you wouldn't intervene if your kid is behaving like this.[/quote]
