Everyone should be treated equal
Why are ESE children place in general education classes if they cannot be disciplined like the general education students. They fought for the right to be treated equal and not to be viewed as different, yet they can do bodily harm to others with no consequences. I watched a student physical destroy a classroom, spit on the teacher and kick another student in the face and all that happened is she was redirected and asked to calm down. A general education student does the same thing and gets three days suspension. Why are they not given the same consequences?

I would start by analyzing that student's IEP or 504, to see if there are clear instructions for handling these situations. I would then consult the school administration and talk to them about this issue.

This is the best course of action in this situation. Every student has different consequences because what works for Jessie has a negative effect on Bob.

ESE students are given consequences if they disrupt and misbehave in class. I would look at their IEP to see if they have a behavior disorder, which may explain their behavior. Students who injure other students are a danger to other students so they may need to be in a specialized program. For example, there are classrooms for students with autism who have severe behavior issues in special education schools.

Everyone should be treated equal, but in this case if a student has an IEP or a 504 plan that takes precedence, I am not saying that anyone should be spit on kicked. But there are other forms of documentation that need to begin to occur to keep this student safe the teacher and his/ her peers. As a teacher you have to follow the proper procedures to possibly remove the student into a different class/ setting.

This is an interesting question. I would speak to the administration about their school behavioral plan. At the schools I have interned in, students in ESE classrooms follow the same rules as general education students.

There should be services which include specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of the child in a classroom. I agree ESE children should not be placed in general education classroom.

I would look into the students education plan. They may have safety procedures put into place based on the students previous behaviors. There may be de-escalation techniques included for how to calm down the student. There is never not a consequence, but the consequence is not handled the same way as a general education student. The student's disability may cause scenes for whatever reason, but that is why they have an IEP or a 504 put into place, to best benefit them.

I think you need to review this and look at this from a different angle. As a general education teacher, it is still your job to meet your students' needs and where your students are at their level. Students with 504 plans and IEPS and nonverbal ASD students are in gen ed. classes and as their teacher, it is your job to follow through on documentation and procedures. You must use all accommodations and modifications for the students. You must make it important to address behaviors with FBA and specialists at your school. Students are treated the same whether they are a gen ed. student in your classroom or an ESE student in your gen ed. classroom. The consequences should be the same across the board.
