[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 42240, member: 1784"] Just last week easy child came home to tell me that a boy in her class had put push pins in between his fingers and was lunging at peoples faces with them. My first concern was easy child's safety, I did not care what issues the boy may have had, he needed to be removed. However not so many months ago it was me who was sitting in the principals office being told that many children in difficult child's class were afraid of him and that parents were calling in upset because of his distractions, no one liked him. School's policy - Every child has a right to learn in a safe environment. I hate to say it but I agree. Our difficult child's cannot control their actions and sometimes they are a threat and sometimes they do cause emotional stress and fear with their peers, I would not want the guilt if something did happen when other options are there. He would be devestated if he knew how many felt about him or would be when he did have an issue he hurt someone. He can't control it but things still happen. I would rather him in a quieter setting where the odds are less. The staff does need to deal with your difficult child though because he has the right to learn in a environment safe for him too. He needs to learn how to socialize at some point but maybe a bigger classroom is just to much right now, smaller may be best. We had toyed with the idea of homeschooling but difficult child needs to learn how to socialize with others and he won't get that here at home. We try and make sure we balance it. Let's face it...no child is perfect and they all have their days, boys at best even with no gfgness in them. Don't feel guilty though, it's not easy but it sounds like you are trying to find that balance and that's what is most important. [/QUOTE]
