The kid obviously has AD/HD.
You can't teach or control someone like that with normal methods of discipline.
They need to develop coping mechanisms and in some extreme medication.
It's hard to get parents who have buried their heads in the sand to cooperate in cases like this.
The teacher was justified in trying to separate the kid from the rest of the class.
He needed to be with someone who was trained to work with kids with ADD and AD/HD.
I'm not sure about the lawsuit but I do feel that it is a good way of bringing attention to this kind of problem.
The schools, even though they get money from the feds for Special Education, do not give the support or funding necessary to take care of problems like this.
