Except the mother kept threating to sue the school district and they gave them everything they wanted. They had a full time teacher assigned just for this one student. Contructed a 15 thousand dollar time out area, which the child destroyed. The teachers were not allowed to use their hand in any way on the child the only they they could do to prevent the child from running out of the building was to stand in front of him.

My mother taught second grade for thirty years. Her final year, she had a kid who refused to sit in his desk. Moreover, he "scooted" himself around the room, in a half-crawling, half-mopping-the-floor style.
Same deal, Budah. Can't touch the kid, can't stop the kid from disrupting the class in this way, can't send to the office every day - so she was told to tell the rest of her class to ignore him. Perhaps not suprisingly, the mother was no help.
The bottom line is that it is a shame for the kids who may have actually been trying to learn.
