Lots of kids are pushed along all the way through 12th grade and still can’t read
Okay- what does that have to do with expulsion?

Expelling the kid is impossible. What would happen to him - just never learn to read?

No. I think DCPS expelled not a single child last year out of all students. So no.

This happened at my child’s school as well. If the kid has several violent incidents, this would be the likely outcome.

if the kid is violent enough, volume of litigation and the number of depositions that the principal and teacher have to sit through may be enough to get some action

How do you know the school is trying to help and the parents are standing in the way?

Yes, starting in 3rd grade if the school follows a particular procedure. Not before that AFAIK.

You can raise concerns about how the behavior impacts your student's learning to the principal, but no matter the path forward to better support this child, it's for the school and family to handle, not you.

The recourse is mental health check ins from school staff or a referral for that kind of help. This is a child. If no help is given now, who will give it and when?

There is a kid in my son's class who causes issues and has always been probelmatic. I know the school has tried to help but this kid causes probelms on a daily occurence and the parents aren't helpful. What is the recourse?
