The student is a 3rd grader and I did not feel comfortable letting the student just leave the classroom. I stood in front of the classroom door and did not allow the student to leave the classroom. Once I did this, he started punching me, pushing me, elbowing me, and trying to get me away from the doorway. This obciously didnt work. While the student was doing this I called for administration and they came and took the student out of the classroom. I later found out that there was nothing done to the student for hitting me and such. Is there anything that can be done? I want to make sure this student understands that he can't do this and that it is not appropriate behavior. If administration didn't write him up, can I still? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that a student who wants to leave the classroom should be allowed to leave and then the administration can be notified immediately. By trying to stop the student, it escalated the situation. I believe a discussion with administration should occur to find out why the child was not reprimanded for hitting the teacher. For the safety of teachers, a student should not be forced to remain in the classroom if he or she demands to leave.
