should i be pissed off?? details belowe?

Question

So there is this kid, and he is in 5th grade and he has had many altercations before but today it went out of hand. This kid is not mental! He was running down the hallways cussing, and pushing people out of the way, my mother who is a teacher, grabbed him and told him to stop. Then he started cussing at my mother and punching, kicking, and puching my mother and many other teachers. This kid had also pushed my little(5th grade) brother in the brick wall 5 times! My dad and i are both poed and we dont know what to do. do you think that i have the right to be poed and to go and complain to the principle tommorow that this kid needs to be expelled?

Answer 1

yes go tomorrow.

Answer 2

You mom as a teacher should talk to the principal about this student. You might go to the principal and tell him what the student has done to your little brother.

As a student there isn't a lot you can personally do without gettting into trouble yourself.

This boy needs some serious intervention and therapy. This is not normal behavior for anyone. There can be many reason he acts this way. It can be because of emotional problems. Problems at home... etc.

Yes you have a right to be po'ed about this childs behavior. Reaching the 5th grade and not getting the help he obviously needs is reason enough.

Answer 3

First, deep breath because nothing gets done properly when you're angry.....and you do have a right to be angry for he lashed out at your Mom.

Second, your Mom is the one with the actual complaint as far as the physical assault. Your Dad has a complaint as well for his wife was physically asaulted by this boy. Both of them should go speak to the principle about the right course of action with reguards to this child.

Altho you do have a complaint about your Mom being assaulted, it's her place to file the complaint since it was done to her....not you or your Dad. Let the adults handle this, Hon.

As far as what kind of punishment the young man should get...I can't say. Even tho he's not 'mental' as you say there may be many other reasons why he can't control himself and chooses to be so disruptive. The principle if he/she is wise will insist on the boy's parents coming in to discuss the situation and from that perhaps the boy should be evaluated to determine what the motivation is behind the bad behavior.
So...let the grown ups work this out...you, sweetie, be your Mom's champion by offering her moral support. Good Luck, Sweetheart....

Answer 4

Absolutely! This is abnormal behavior in a child that age. When you complain to the principle you should explain what happened in a calm manner and respectfully state why you are bothered by this. You should also try your best to find out before you speak to the principle why he did this and what happened to him before the incident occured and have the parents and the principle seek the best help for that child so taht something like this doesn't happen again. If you feel more agressive you should seek help from lawyer and sue, but most importantly make sure you have all your facts straight first! I hope you mother and brother are in more than stable condition. GOD BLESS! AND GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

Yes you definitely have the right to be upset but i don't think that having him expelled really solves anything, you're basically just pushing him away so that he'll cause chaos in some other school. And I mean, he IS a fifth grader. Fifth grade boys tend to act out if they don't know any better.
He obviously needs some sort of counseling so you should talk to the principal about something like that.

Answer 6

This kid obviously has some problems! He should be expelled and made an example out of. There are too many people who get by with bullying and this needs to stop. To me this is as bad as bringing a weapon to school and should be treated like that. This is mental as well as physical abuse because later in life the person who was bullied is the one who suffers while the one who does the bullying goes through life thinking they are untouchable. Report this kid and demand he seek counseling. Also try to have get a group together to prevent this from happening to others and maybe in the future others will benefit from it.

Answer 7

You're mother has a case, and your brother has a case. I could even see your dad having a case as the parent of your brother. But I'm afraid I don't see where you would have a case. It's natural that you would be upset by what's happening, but that doesn't mean you have a reason to complain to the school administrators.

And while were on the subject, the school administrators are already going to be well aware of what's going on with this kid. I won't pretend to know why the haven't suspended or expelled him. But it could be they know more about his background and are trying to give him chances. Or it could be there aren't a lot of viable options for the kid since by law he has to be in school.

Answer 8

That incident needs attention but the right kind of attention. Are you sure the kid doesn't have a medical reason for his behaviour? A social worker may be able to put the child in the right direction. It's not fair that your mother and brother are subjected to violent and abusive behaviour. I can understand why you feel p****d off~ it's upsetting, of course it is.
If you want to do something, ask for an appointment with the Principal and together you can get to find out more and hopefully find the right help for the boy.

Good luck x

Answer 9

My sister has much the same problem with her step-child. Granted, my sister doesn't know how to handle children but this is a problem child. The kid's on a form of Ritalin which in children calms them down. You might suggest that to your doctor. Her problem is that Mr. Wonderful, her first husband and his third or forth wife, steals these pills as in adults, it acts kind of like cocaine. So, this drug must be safe guarded.

You might jokingly suggest electro-shock therapy with an empty lamp socket. Or, arrange to tour a local youth detention center. That might do it. Some will allow the parents of really problem children to check them in if they can't handle them.

It would be a good idea to talk to the principal and ask for constructive suggestions but not expelling. If the kid's expelled you'll have him/her on your hands and have to deal with trying to find another school willing to accept this kid.

Sometimes, you just have to get to the seat of the matter, if you know what I mean. As far as punishment, if you're divorce, don't have your bf get into this, this kid will throw it up to you now or in the years to come. You, your father and/or direct family will have to take any measures to correct her. It's an uphill battle.

May my prayers and luck go with you.

Answer 10

This child, whether you know or not, may have a mental disability. I've dealt with children of this nature. Your mother should have made a report already. As for your younger brother, you can speak to this problem child's teacher on your brothers behalf. Your mother, depending on how she grabbed him, might get in a little trouble for doing so. yes you have the right to be angry, but if this child is bipolar, ADHD or other such disability he may not be expelled but may be placed in a class specifically for his needs where he will be supervised a lot closer.

Answer 11

Yes you do have a right. Actually you may be stopping this kid from getting injuries in the future. You see, some relatives won't come to Yahoo for answers. Maybe if there are enough complaints against the child, someone at the school may take the proper action.
