(17,162 posts)She needed a way to get the kid out of her classroom.
I would be certain she had no help in doing so.
She snapped, most people would have in the same situation.
The kid had probably been behaving this way from the beginning of the year.
As I recall, the incident occurred about 6 weeks into the school year.
She had probably been trying to deal with him disrupting her class since then.
He deliberately kept baiting her and I'll bet she showed
remarkable patience with him until that moment, which she has said
she regrets.
Bottom line, the school should have shipped him out to an alternative
school for behavioral problems long before the incident.
Having seen the system in action though- the student, despite
his effect on the learning environment of the other students in the class
has legal rights and the process of transferring him would be long and tedious so the
rights of ONE student, outweigh the rights of the other kids trying to learn.
It's ridiculous.
Meanwhile, the other kids suffer his obnoxious and selfish behavior.
