that's the usual reaction. > I got the impression from a few other posts in this thread that people > feel it's the teacher's job to deal with things like these tantrums. No. It is however the school system's responsibility to provide this child with access to an education, like it or not, agree with it or not, it's the LAW. If the child can't behave in a mainstream program she should be in special ed. But it is not *her* responsibility to get herself there. It is up to the adults in her life, the teacher and the parents, to make this happen if it needs to. So I still say that even if this was an utterly unprovoked tantrum by a child that has major problems (possible but not known) she is still not the problem here.
