Reply #109: What the teacher did was wrong but... [View All]

this issue speaks to a real problem that exists in our schools (at least my kids school). The problem lies in the fact that the teachers are forced to assimilate children that are not up to grade level in terms of academics and behavior. Whether it is autistic children or ADD/ADHD, these teachers are trying to run a classroom with 20+ students and their hands are tied when it comes to behavioral disruptions. They lose a lot of time and there is a lot of frustration having to try and keep a structured setting with no help or support. Why can't kids that have behavioral or emotional deficits be placed in another classroom until they meet a certain standard?
