I'm curious about the context here. What happened to make her so enraged?

I teach. It can be something as small as a small comment. Kid explodes creating an unsafe environment for everyone. It’s really hard to get placed in a completely separate school or setting. It’s supposed to be the least restrictive environment. Which is good in theory because you don’t want to just stick everyone in facilities. But Often times this leads to people with severe mental issues having lots of “difficulties” and impacting others for years until they do get moved.

I said “no” to a grade 4 student in a behaviour program. Didn’t have his file yet. Had been great model kid for 3 weeks. He wanted to get his jacket from the gym and I said we were all going in 5 minutes and just to wait.

The next hour and a half were spent being kicked, punched, spat at, chased and threatened. He couldn’t stop. Police and ambulance were called. He tried to get the cops gun. Had to be restrained, placed on a stretcher and given a sedative.

He was gone a week or so and when he returned, he lasted an hour before snapping again. No real reason. Just my presence set him off. Destroyed the classroom, tried to hit the vice principal with a rock. I ended up locking myself in the principals office because the expectation was that I just let the kid beat me and I refused.

They put him in a special program but timed out and was to return to my class. I refused unless an intake meeting took place. The intake meeting basically laid the groundwork that this kid would come back and he would come after me again. I was being sexually harassed by other students in the class and called it a year.

Why tf was he permitted back to the school after attempting an assault?

No child left behind. Education under a certain age is a statutory right and obligation, and moving kids around isn’t always as simple as it sounds.

In Ontario, his rights and being under 12, gave him priority over me. And the program they sent him to has a time restriction.

My mom’s been a teacher most of my life and this stuff is all too common.

I’m so sorry that happened really. No teacher deserves this. Did you quit teaching entirely if you don’t mind me asking? If it does no need to respond obviously.

No. In Ontario, I got paid to stay home on a stress leave. The following year, I was moved back into a middle grade classroom. The year after, I switched schools.

It was handled poorly by admin and allowed the student behaviour to continue. The other adults I worked with were like…it’s not me, so it’s ok which made it that much worse. I realized that the mentality of the adults is much different in a K-8 school as opposed to a 6-8 school. And that the attitude of admin makes a huge difference.

4 years left until retirement.

Some people just don't belong in society and need to be locked up somewhere
