I've just about had it with this one violent boy in my daughters 1st grade class. He has been suspended from school in so many "3 day" suspensions I don't understand how he is still not expelled.
I figured when he assaulted a teacher that would get him booted, but nope! He is still there. Today, he went through another of his violent outbursts and this time was flinging a tray (instead of a chair like he did in a past encounter) causing objects to be thrown towards my daughter and some items landed in/on her work area.
God lord, seriously... I'm so tired of hearing about this kind of repeat behavior! Why do unsafe kids get to terrorize good students? why do unsafe kids get to jeopardize the safety and well being of good students?
3 more weeks left to go... and I'm so praying this violent child who seriously seems suspended more than he attends school, gets to stay enrolled. That obnoxious horrible behavior shouldn't be tolerated from any person of any age.
Am I wrong to think this??

No offense meant at all here but this is why I thank God every day that I chose to Home School my children.
Schools are a truly scary place to be in and I don't want my kids subjected to this every day.
That boy needs help and he's clearly not getting it-very sad.

@Daelii Okay good! I never know how someone will take that discussion. As for the social aspect-there are co-op groups for Home Schoolers now (Yesterday we had a day out with the Home School group to a water park!), different clubs (Girl Scouts/Rec Center programs/YMCA classes), church activities, extra curricular activities through the public school, etc... It's not like it used to be with Home Schooling-my children are super social!
And really they aren't getting that much time in school to be social-except maybe recess or between classes.

@Daelii Can you afford a Christian school? I went to a Christian school (they had lower rates for families that had lower incomes or else my parents would have had to work 2 jobs), and when a student would behave that way they were expelled. We all had to sign a code of conduct that stated we'd abide by certain rules, and that if we didn't we knew we'd be expelled.

Hmm. Maybe the Principal thinks giving him another chance would make him feel okay, and I know it's not okay.
But this kind of behavior that's been going on, I think parents should be alarm about this too.
Is there a way you could talk with other parents about this?

@JustBhem yes. I sent a note one year because a little girl was going to be moving out of state and I just tried to pass our name/number in case they wanted to keep in touch. they would be visiting back in the area for their extended family. school wouldn't let info be passed through school means.

Wow and he is only in the 1st grade. Things are only going to get worse the older he gets if they don't set boundaries now. He should not be able to act that way and put any other kid in harm's way because he is violent. The parents need to get control of this kid and get him so help. He ones issues and this type of behaviour should not be tolerated in schools.

The first few times, he was suppose to be getting one on one to correct it. Because hes not my child, the school can't tell me anything about what they are doing in regards to it.
Its NOT stopping. Its just getting worse and worse. I'm so glad the school year is almost over but the last ~ 3 weeks really have me worried for my kids going to school!
The bus was late the other day because some child threw a rock at another child's head causing blood / the bus to pull over and correct the situation. luckily the injured kid was able to get home being one of the earlier stops.. but still.
WTH!

My thoughts too!
First few incidents, I thought about how poor his family life might be to be that violent in school.
They can't give details, but its really escalating in the violence category levels...
But hoping he gets whatever he needs if its therapy, meds, whatever. I just hope he gets it

You are not wrong in thinking about the safety of the majority of the other kids and the teachers. Has someone from the school talked to the parents of this child regarding his behavior?

Have parents gone to talk with the Head of the school?

I fully believe the refusal to expelled kids is part of the problem. I was getting frustrated because my daughter has told a number of times this kid acted outm often doing things that scared her.
I tried to find school policy concerning this and I couldn't.
I did talk to principal. He can't give details on anything because the kid isn't mine. However, he isn't suppose to be an issue anymore. Prayers that's true and he's on a better path to get help

The school authorities must take action otherwise they themselves might be victim soon

It sounds like that boy has some serious issues. I'm all for integrating special needs into the community but they have to be able to not traumatize those around them. That shouldnt be allowed

@Daelii Oh good point there too - even if he doesnt physically go after someone else - it would be hard to see that as an adult, much less a kid who may not understand what is happening. It sounds like this boy needs to be elsewhere getting some more structured help

Exactly! If they can't control themselves so they dont assault other people, then they need to be somewhere else so they dont hurt themselves ( he has in the past put chairs on his neck and thrown himself to the floor like that) etc. Its traumatizing to young kids who dont understand it at all!
