I have taught only two children with this type of behavior. If you have one like this, you will want to resign immediately. The main reasons I have experienced these outbursts were due to:
FAS - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Born addicted to drugs
Brain damage from either these two or from some accident
There is absolutely no reasoning with these kids. School counselors in my area - a joke. Psychiatrists/psychologists (here and out of town) have been unsuccessful. Medications either don't work or make the situation worse. I don't know the answer. Please note that I am talking about kids who act like this little girl - the extreme ones.
They become so completely out of control that I can understand handcuffing them, although that never happened in my school. It's not only devastating to the teacher, but also to the other classmates, and "some" parents. As we all know "some" parents unfortunately don't give a damn and blame it all on the teacher. I would know all about that and I will explain in the next post. It will probably be boring to read to most of you so just skip the next post if you don't want to hear about a couple of extreme examples. Hate to make my posts so long so I'll divide it.
