My niece (not the one who lives with me) was attacked by a girl in school! What are public schools coming to. The principal says...

well that girl has 'special needs' ... yeah well... if she has such special needs that she can't control herself and hurts other kids then SHE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE GENERAL POPULATION. They should have special schools for kids who are like this...

My kid was randomly punched in the face and the kid didn’t get in trouble b/c of his special needs. I reminded my son if he so much as touched it lightly to hit him as hard as he could and he did when the kid started hitting him repeatedly, but he got in trouble for defending himself the second time the kid hit him and the kid didn’t who started it yet again for the same reason he did before. I was livid and called a meeting w/the school district.

If they are a danger to other children, they shouldn’t be near them without an adult supervising them.

@MellyMel22

Special needs or not
The kid (or anybody) defending themselves should NOT get into trouble
Zero tolerance doesn't work
Tattling doesn't work

@pdockal Exactly. No child should be abused by another for any reason.

@MellyMel22 exactly true. it's completely outrageous - either the kid gets consequences (suspension) or they aren't fit to be in the general population. Same with some adults. We need to bring back special schools (and proper psych wards while we're at it.
