I have received numerous posts that seem to say that if a teacher is unable to control a child that has been improperly mainstreamed then the problem should be dropped on law enforcement. The criminal justice system is just that. It is a system used to determine if a person has committed acts or omissions proscribed by criminal code. In the event, the court or a jury finds that the acts are unlawful, then a punishment is prescribed. This is not the way to get help for a child. There are numerous other remedies including seeking civil injunctions, social service evaluations that may result in adjudication of the child as insane or incompetent or suffering from some other condition which renders the child unfit to be part of society. The problem is either the PC position that there are no defective people or the schools failure to provide contained special ed classrooms if they are so mandated.
There was once a time when adults in this country knew how to handle kids who threw temper tantrums.
Maybe one day we will reinvent this technology.
