FL - Florida teacher leaves classroom on stretcher after 5-year-old’s attack, Pembroke Pines, 2022

[MimosaMornings]

I am old now but both my parents worked. We played but we also had the TV programs on for hours. My husband says he wasn't allowed to watch TV but he knows more shows and background music words than me!! I just think we have gone to the extreme of not lovingly chastising children, at home or in school. Years ago, a child who got violent was suspended at home with parent or patent agreed to a hospitalization for med evaluation. Most parents said call the ambulance. Today, forms are filled out. And many aides and teachers bear the brunt. It is sad.

I remember violence being a common occurrence during several years of my public school years. Students who committed violent acts usually came back after a few days of home suspension to repeat the same behavior.

There is a process of progressive documentation for changing placement for violent children in Special Education. Most teachers and school administrators are not familiar enough with the process to implement it.

I had the paperwork minimized on my computer daily. And I documented violence daily. That is the only way, now, to legally have children in Special Education changed to a more restricted environment. It takes a lot of communication with several people. You can't just not document the escalation and let it go. Because if you do, this is a sad result. The article mentions that the child had been violent before.

He would have been out of my classroom the first time. It is also a union issue.

I agree.

When my son was in Kindergarten not far from this area, the teachers/admin allowed an obnoxious child to bite other children and talk about killing himself (with other children hearing this). I wish I had gotten the child's name because I'm sure he's killed someone by now.
This was a private school. They should have told the parents that he needed more help than they could provide.

….My daughter is just beginning her journey into early childhood special education and so far she has been exposed to preschoolers and kindergartners with extreme conduct disorders. Very young children that are violent, filled with rage, and jeopardize the safety of the other children and school staff each day. I cannot speak to what is the “norm” - my experience is limited to the engagements of my daughter - but it does seem more often than not.

heartbreaking

I suspect/fear some public school districts may warehouse their more recalcitrant kids in special ed. A friend of mine teaches special Ed in a high school in the south Bronx, and that poor man received so much stick at work that he was basically a ticking time bomb. you would ask him about his day, and he’d be so revolted and beaten down metaphorically he literally couldn’t speak.

I am old now but both my parents worked. We played but we also had the TV programs on for hours. My husband says he wasn't allowed to watch TV but he knows more shows and background music words than me!!

I remember a retiring policeman, making the same comment a few years back.

he said that when he started his career as an officer, he would bring misbehaving children home, and their parents would thank him and start verbally blessing out their children for not being compliant and law abiding.

Fast forward a couple decades; it is de rigueur for him to bring the kids home, and the parents start blessing him out instead.

Things are not improving. I am surprised to see so much rage and violence in young children. I don't know why things have changed.

And today there are no psych hospital beds and getting admitted is incredibly difficult.

We don't know about this specific child, but I believe that it is a combination of things, not one, but a "trifeca" of items. The breakdown of family units, parents having to work longer hours, leaving children with older siblings or in less than ideal daycare situations. More preemie babies and children with disabilities survive, who don't have fully developed brains at birth, and have possible brain damage because of this. More babies exposed to drugs in uterus.

I taught Special Education for many years, in a variety of settings. In the early '80's, children came to school, even preschool with the skills to sit at a desk, color with crayons. When I left about 15 years ago, the kids I had, didn't even have the skillset to sit at a desk and color. They couldn't sit still, focus. Zero impulse control.

Exposed to violent video games, and modeling the same behavior when they are frustrated. Monkey see, Monkey do. JMO
