Nervous and upset... NYC school related , DH is a teacher....
DH is a teacher in the city for emotionally disturbed kids. He had a new kid the other day, and he was trying to run out of the classroom. DH got him back in the room, and the kid was ANGRY. So he sent him to the school psychologist. Well, the kid told the psychologist he was going to bring a gun to school on Friday and shot my DH! The kid is 10 years old. Well, DH is scared like you would not believe, as well as I am , I hardly had any sleep last night. He called the pricipal and the admistration and the parents were called and they are going to check the kids bag supposedly etc. Last week, a kid stabbed my DH with a plastic knife. He put in for a transfer, but is still waiting to hear. I am so upset and nervous.

I'd be a nervoux wreck too. Can't they suspend the kid for that kind of threat?

That is terrible. I would think that the child would be suspended for that.

Re: Nervous and upset... NYC school related , DH is a teacher....
Your DH should file a police report, ASAP. During my second year in an NYC school a student made repeated threats against me, saying he was going to throw a firebomb at my car, etc. I was told to keep anecdotals, which I did for a few weeks. The student figured out what I was doing and stole the anecdotals from my bag. I finally threw a fit and the dean called NYPD. It should never have gotten to that and I am sharing this because your DH should NOT let it get to that point. He needs to also call the UFT borough office and speak to his chapter leader. Kids who make threats should not be allowed in the classroom.
ETA- feel free to FM me if you wish- if your DH's chapter leader is useless mine is pretty good and I can get info from her if needed.

I hope he gets the transfer soon. It's not goo to live under that kind of stress for you and him. That's not appropriate behavior for this kid and his aggression is way out of control. Hope everything works out.

Re: Nervous and upset... NYC school related , DH is a teacher....
I'm so sorry to hear he is dealing with this. I worked with this same population of children, however, they lived at the school and were searched numerous times a day. While they could still inflict harm, we never had to worry about anything like that. I'm so sorry. I hope his transfer goes through

Re: Nervous and upset... NYC school related , DH is a teacher....
That is horrible!! My MIL works with emotionally disturbed kids and I'm fairly certain that if a kid threatens them like that, he/she is suspended.
 to you both!!!

There is no way they should let that kid back in school. Imagine if an employee did that in a regular work setting? The company would be held liable if they didn't act on it. THe school should do the same.
for you to get through your day - and  his transfer goes in soon.

That's terrible. My sister is a guidance counselor in district 75, and I actually interviewed for a job as a school psychologist in the district yesterday. These children are so disturbed, which is why they are in the program in the first place, but the staff needs to be protected. I hope your DH stays safe.

Re: Nervous and upset... NYC school related , DH is a teacher....
Believe it or not, in many district codes of conduct it states that a student cannot be punished if it is determined his/her actions were a result of their disability. This, however, sounds like a highly unsafe situation and the student should be removed and not "punished." I'm sorry that you guys are having to go through this. It must be so stressful. How awesome of your DH though to take such a job and cater to these children who are so needy.

UPDATE AS OF 1PM ****************************** I had a few panic attacks so far,( Heard ppounding, cold sweats, bad stomach etc.) but heard from DH and the kid was searched after DH made them and he did not have anything on him.I was bretahing a sigh of relief! DH is going to call the district office in reference to this TODAY. That is the latest update. I told DH if he is given that school to teach summer school, I am not having him do it. Thank you all for the hugs, I will keep u all updated as the day progresses.
