NP and a teacher. I recognize this is a troll post, but you're right about one thing. The kids who are acting out like this are likely to end up incarcerated, especially if they're not taught that inappropriate behavior has negative consequences. In most cases it's a parenting issue and the lax discipline policies in schools are doing them no favors. There are also kids with attentive parents who have serious mental health issues and need a lot more support than a public school system can provide.

Thank you for being honest that worthless parenting is a big contributor to this problem. It is.

I agree strongly with the teacher. It’s a parenting problem. The problematic children aren’t special needs.They’re hyper, unfocused and don’t get enough parent attention. Focus is a learned skill, so is not talking out of turn.

Part of the problem also is that schools can’t discipline or remove kids, and of course their parents don’t either.

All of them? How do you know? My kid had multiple head injuries, plus preexisting special needs. You’d have no idea if your child was in class with him. No professional who’s heard our story has anything negative to say about my patenting, but believe me, they walk in the door wondering. Are there many kids whose behavior stems from parenting problems? Possible. But not ALL. That’s so insulting. Look up Phineas Gage if you think my child’s misbehavior was my fault.

I had no idea. I’m not a teacher so how am I suppose to know. Whatever the problem is, it has to stop.

We are letting the majority of the class suffer because of one or two struggling students.

You did not know this is the result of the “I” for Inclusion, in DEI ?

The sooner we end DEI entirely, the better.

It’s federal law and not easy to overturn

Disagree. It is being legally interpreted a certain way the past decade or so. This law passed many decades ago. It was in place when most of us went to school yet the huge over inclusion was not a thing back then. It needs better case law to course correct the extreme spot it’s devolved to at this point.

You just said the magic word (in bold). Inclusion.

I am opposed to inclusion.

More people need to get comfortable with opposing inclusion, equity, and diversity. Until they do become more comfortable saying it out loud, nothing will change in our violent and dysfunctional schools.

🙄
You’re not being helpful at all. The massive over inclusion of certain very troubled SPED kids predates the DEI push. These are not the same thing.

Correct. It’s not DEI it’s IDEA

+1 Inclusion in schools is because of IDEA law

Signed, a school psychologist

I wonder what those members of congress would say now, to know that they actually voted to destroy our public school system.

I’m the mom of a child with special needs who exhibits a lot of problem behavior.

We have moved heaven and earth trying to get him more support or a different placement. The school just won’t.

I feel terrible for the teacher. Teachers have no power. It’s truly a wonder they keep working. They are micromanaged, have impossible demands, and very limited discretion.

The system is complex and under resourced. There are no villains or heroes. All of it just sucks

Good luck changing the law.

“The law” doesn’t say that everyone gets Gen Ed bEcAuSe LrE. The problem is spineless leadership who cave in to the demands of parents of disruptive kids.

Bad example. That's basically how stores operate now. It's not great, but society does function.

No, good example. If this happened in Target, the police would be called and the person throwing things at other people would be removed and trespassed from the store and likely arrested. DP

Good for you (sincerely), but far more common in public schools are parents who gum up the world by demanding that their kids with a lot of problem behavior be mainstreamed and in Gen Ed at all costs.
