Instead he was assigned his own personal anger management counselor, enrolled in a program called WRAP and was actually allowed to leave the classroom any time he felt he needed to "deal with his anger."
One day in class he became enraged when the teacher asked him to return to his seat. He cursed her out and when she sent a student to get the principal he picked up an overhead projector and threw it. It narrowly missed the teacher and landed at my son's feet.
I went to the principal and told him I was prepared to press criminal charges if something was not done. It took an incident of this magnitude to get this kid expelled and ultimately transferred to an alternative school.
I have seen this acting out too many times. I just kick them out and don’t care what happens to me. If I can’t teach the whole class then I am held accountable. These students generally are acting up in other teachers classes and have a long “school rap sheet”. They send them home for a few days and are back to continue their disruptions.
