I’ve had situations where this happens and as a team we’ve come up with a plan to support the child who is struggling and the rest of the learners. As a sped teacher in a consultant role I feel very strongly that students in my setting should be able to get through most days without severely interrupting the learning of others. If I have a student who is disrupting the entire class, I collect data and show that something needs to change. I’ve had situations where if a student is being disruptive he’s pulled from class, but the expectation that he will complete his work is still there. If a student is majorly disruptive for months on end and being pulled out often, I think it’s time for a program review. EVERY student is entitled to a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment, but least restrictive environment does not mean they MUST be in a general education setting.

I love e this so much, and your words are so true. So many people don't follow your way of thinking, and in so many cases it's the teachers fault.
No it’s not fair. This is something you should be addressing with your leadership team. I would push a button for the administration to remove the student immediately from the classroom. Usually students with low academic achievement will have episodes like that. As long as you have co teaching of special education students not able to independently read grade level content you will have always have issues.

I wish so bad that I could have an EA in my classroom when I have so many who are low functioning, but they are not in the Adaptive Learning class so I can't have an EA. Out of 14 kids, I have 7 who have IEPs. I cannot even get through the mandatory lessons because of behaviors. For I am struggling to maintain my joy for teaching.

I think laws vary by state
In Michigan...
A lot of work on the teacher's part only for an hour for a day

I'm in Michigan too. It's crazy that the law doesn't give more power to the teachers to control the class environment.
We had it added to our contract during the last negotiation cycle. We can have disruptive students removed and admin HAS to take them. What they do with them, we have no control over. Whether they call the parents, revoke recess, or give them a lollypop and a pat on the head is up to them. For a long time, we had to evacuate the classroom with the rest of the class and the disruptive student stayed in the room, which was a terrible plan. I am glad they have to take them out now.

For real. I wish it was so here.
