Daughter Scared Over Fellow Classmate's Violent Classroom Behavior


Hello all,My daughter is ten, and is in fifth grade at a new school. There is a fellow student who seems to have some emotional problems, and sometimes lashes out because of being set off in some fashion. Turns out this kid was expelled from another school for kicking a teacher.The other day, this student started making a scene, including yelling and throwing pencils. So the teacher asked all the other students to leave the room. There was some yelling that was heard from the outside. After about five-to-ten minutes, the kids were able to go back inside.Soon enough, this classmate was placed in an island desk, in the center of the room.Anyway, my daughter was justifiably frightened by this incident, as well as another incident not so long ago. Thankfully, she's not being singled out for taunting by this same student. I also am confident that the teacher and the principal are working together to ensure safety for all the students under his care. But that said, I was wondering if there was anybody who had a similar situation, and if there was any particular advice or specific sentiments I should give her, or, if there were any general steps I need to do as a concerned parent, or, if I should leave well-enough-alone, and should trust that the school authorities are doing the best they can. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2x1xGXv
