My 5 year old nephew will be expelled from school if he hits again...Is this to severe?

Question

What is the reason a child of this age would be so angry...

Answer 1

The school has the job of keeping all the children safe. They can and will expell children that pose a threat to others. My question is.. why is he so angry? Does he see this at home? My advice is to find the reason for his anger. Channel that behavior into something else. I taught my students on DAY ONE that if they are mad, that before they lay their hands on another students that they stomp on the floor. They can pound the floor. or they can pound a table. This channels their feelings into an object and not a student. It hurts their hands and they only do it once. It doesnt normally hurt with they hit others. But the concrete floor is much harder. Find out why he is so angry and fix that problem. They will continue to have problems untill you can find the source. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Maybe, kinda depends on the nature of the hitting I guess along with the policies of the school. I worked in schools where hitting happened all the time, usually kids were suspended if it was a serious hit. If they had a pattern of hitting, a behaivor plan developed. Check the school's discipline guidelines. As for why is he so angry, I couldn't tell you but he might can tell you or the teacher could provide some clues as to what was happening before he hit that made him angry. Good luck!

Answer 3

no, its not. The school has a duty to protect all the children. My son was kicked out of preschool for his behaviors. Ask the school to help with his behaviors whether it be with aid from the school psychologist or using a behavior notebook with his teacher, which documents daily behaviors and is sent home every day so mom and the teacher can keep in close contact on the subject. Get help now, there is probably an underlying factor as to why his is hitting. Good luck.

Answer 4

this may be politically incorrect........but if your nephew is interracial or low income it supports my theory reguarding the new laws and if not i still believe people are to extreme with there handling of situations with children and believ me i speak from experience.i was a low income single parent.had a minor stroke lost my job had to wait 2 months for the state to help with medical etc. my 9 year old son got a job laying carpet at night,along with taKING CARE OF ME AND SCHOOL AND HOMEWORK,he dropped a boxcutter on the floor it fell out of his pocket. well they knew all the facts he threatened no one but he fell under zero tolerance laws in the pennsylvania schools.they not only expelled him but they prosecuted him for a concealed weapon in school...they taught him a common tool is a weapon and railroaded him and the rest is the real nightmare the juvenile detention system which has more cover-ups than watergate.get your nephew in counseling in an alternative,theraputic school and most important get a good lawyer...good luck and i pray GOD spares you my nightmare as well as that of my children and grandchildren who live in philly.this has only been one story there are a million of them in the state..

Answer 5

No-I don't think it is severe, it is to protect the other children. You should find out the reason that he likes to hit other children and try to find a solution.

Answer 6

If he is continuing to do it after being told that it is unacceptable behavior, then it is within reason. The school has to do what it must in order to protect the other children.

Answer 7

Nope, because he needs to learn that it is NOT acceptable. And if he were hitting my child, I'd want him out of school too.

Answer 8

Nope

Answer 9

No would you want someone to hit you child while in school?

Answer 10

No. The school has a duty to protect the children attending that school.
