What about children that are known to harm other children/safety issues

[Guest guest]

, Recently I was told my son is going to have to move out of a

classroom with a teacher he loves because of a new student coming

into this class. Why? because this student is being placed in the

best possible classroom for him and he is a child that is known to

lash out at others. It is not fair that this school district does not

deal with behavior problems and that my child would have to move to

another class just because my son could be a target. Now let me

explain more. Last year my son was bit by another child at school. I

saw this child in action and he was like watching a vampire. They put

this child into a classroom with children that were in wheelchairs,

and that did not know how to protect themselves. I had a meeting with

the school and the school board because they wanted to move my child

out of a classroom that he was requested to be in by me. The school

board asked me what I thought they should do with the other child. I

said he needs behavior management and should be isolated if he is a

kids that bites. Now my child has a strep infection because of this

child biting my son. I know that time out rooms and a restraints are

the topic here but we also have to address affectively what can be

done for children with problems behaviors they have a right to

education to. However they should not be put in rooms with children

that do not know how to defend themselves.Example kids in

wheelchairs, blind, or mentally challenge kids that do not know how

to defend themselves. If a child is to succeed he needs a ABA

therapist to work on the problems and not just throw the child in a

time out room. That will accomplish nothing. I am with you on the way

these timeout rooms or restraints are used. If I ever found out my

child was restrained without a therapist setting there with him and

showing him how to act, you would see me on national news. I warned

his schools along time ago that I better never come in and see my son

sitting in a restrictive chair/with restraints. That is not how you

train any child. Cyndi B
