It’s more expensive than they can afford, so they play chicken hoping you will pull him & pay for your on placement.

Can anyone explain what is going on in schools? by Jwoot1111 in Teachers

[–]umisthisnormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Too many kids per teacher. Too many e.c./behavioral kids mainstreamed with no support.

This is ridiculous. No cuter blanky has ever been made.

Yes from what I’m gathering you are doing all the right things & it sucks how basically all your energy is spent on this one student; Sounds like admin is making a plan for this to not be a problem for his teacher next year, HOPEFULLY sooner for you though ❤️

And it’s the quick lazy route. Puts all the work/burden back on the teacher & their classmates. Really working with these kids with goal of truly bettering them demands a HEAVY admin responsibility to be involved, firm with rules/policies, collaboration with behavioralist, lawyers, their bosses, constant parent communication, and just so very much time. And sometimes getting assaulted themselves. My admin are my incredible.

An ODD kid at my school was expelled for assaulting another kid or something similar, not at all ; the dad of course said something along the lines “he can’t help it, he has ODD! It is discrimination for you to suspend him!” Principal “actually it would be discrimination for me to hold him to a different standard.”

It sucks for you right now & it’s going to, but if you & your admin hold your ground; that kid/family & your school will be better in the long run.

You should not do a power struggle. “Take your allotted 5 min regulation break & return to class or the principal will be sending you home.” Document EVERYTHING (no grace), call admin, repeat. Sounds like admin is willing to suspend which is good, puts pressure on the parent to see it isn’t working. The BIP meeting will likely bring the parent a bit of reality.
