To say children are physically unsafe at school is not an exaggeration. At my school in Albuquerque, students are regularly being assaulted by other children. Sometimes it’s a fight between two children of the same size, but sometimes it’s a bigger child against a smaller one.
It’s generally a very long process to move a dangerous child out of mainstream classes, even if that child is a physical threat to other children.
Additionally, a child with documented disabilities often cannot be punished the same as mainstream children, even for being physically dangerous toward peers and/or adults.

Graphic Warning: Outrage As Video Of Girl, 9, Being Beaten On School Bus Goes Viral
A stomach-turning video showing a 9-year-old girl and her 10-year-old brother being brutally beaten by teenagers on a Florida school bus has gone viral, prompting online outrage and the arrest of one of the assailants.
We had a training at my school about Narcan. The nurse told us that all of the high schools are stocking it and now it’s moving into the middle and elementary schools too.
I received an email today that one of my 6th grade students is moving from my general education math class to a special education math class, and I’m thrilled - not to lose him, but because he’s finally going to get what he needs.
I was in touch with his mother last fall about his failing grade in my class, and she expressed that he just really struggles in math. By that point in the year, I was also well aware of this. I probably can’t officially advise a parent to request that their child get tested, but I gently informed her that this was her right as a parent. She reacted ecstatically and asked that I get the process started right away.
He’s in 6th grade, so this is presumably at least his seventh year of school, and yet he was not tested until now despite his showing obvious struggles in mathematical understanding, including scoring about four years below grade level on our placement tests. The report from his evaluation showed that he has been diagnosed with a learning disability in math-related areas.
The law requires students to be in the “least restrictive environment” at school, meaning we are to err on the side of general education class placements. While I understand taking caution in placing students in segregated classes unnecessarily, I also believe that we should do what’s best for the student, and a child should not have to flounder in math for half a decade before being diagnosed with a learning disability. I’m very happy that he is finally going to be placed appropriately.
