  Case: 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?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
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.
