What solutions when a student sows "terror" in a class?

• Last Thursday, parents of students demonstrated in front of a primary school in Meurthe-et-Moselle.

  They denounced the behavior of a 6-year-old child and called on the Inspectorate to find solutions.

• What exactly are the outcomes when a similar case occurs?

  The dialogue already, since the mother of the child and the vindictive parents were received by the inspector of National Education in the district of Pont-à-Mousson.

• What if nothing is managed through dialogue?

  The child may have deeper concerns and needs to be protected.

  Or accompanied, but the procedures can be long and complicated.

“Children and teachers in danger.

This is the banner unfurled by some parents of students in front of the Vandelainville school (Meurthe-et-Moselle) last Thursday.

With this message, they hoped to challenge the inspection about a six-year-old child.

A little boy educated in CP and who “sows terror”.

“He fears no one, distributing kicks, punches, slaps, tripping.

And even strangulations!

Being unmanageable, it disrupts all classes,” explained a mother, spokesperson for this delegation.

Since then, there have been no new demonstrations in front of the establishment.

"So much the better, all of this must calm down and things should be done in order," advocates Jean-Louis Depierreux.

The mayor of this small Lorraine town is perfectly aware of the situation.

“There were already problems with the same child last year in kindergarten but the summer has passed, the start of the school year too, and not much has changed.

The parents mobilized because they had the impression that nothing was moving.

“The teacher cannot manage everything alone”

Their sheet barely put away last week, they were received by the inspector of National Education in the district of Pont-à-Mousson.

“She also exchanged with the mother of the little one because until then, it was a discussion of the deaf, specifies the chosen one, pleading once again for the return to calm.

These exchanges allowed everyone to take stock of the situation.

Which, as in many similar cases, is complex.

“The teacher, who has 25 other students, cannot manage everything alone,” we confirm to the unitary national union of teachers, school teachers (Snuipp-FSU) of the department.

“Here, it is the child who is suffering and several solutions exist.

Perhaps simply already with meetings with the hierarchy which will make it possible to find a way out.

Or, he must be accompanied by an AESH [accompanying students with disabilities].

In this case, it will be necessary to set up an MDPH file [departmental house for disabled people].

A process that is often very long and a source of tension because, in the meantime, the situation persists or even rots.

“It has already led to teachers cracking up because of these slownesses”, still deplores the union, which indicates that parades are often found to avoid such extremes.

“Sometimes the teachers turn, or even the Atsem [specialized territorial agent for nursery schools].

We have also already seen an additional teacher being specially dispatched.

But it's very, very rare.

A backup teacher?

But it happens.

Jean-Louis Depierreux has already experienced it.

“Fifteen years ago, in 2005, when two children had already been considered very disruptive,” recalls the Lorraine mayor.

“The parents had already rushed into the stretchers and a teacher had come to teach these students for the rest of the year.

It is certain that their dissatisfaction had accelerated the process.

In Vandelainville, the story is not there yet.

Contacted by

, the Nancy-Metz academy indicates that "several actions have been implemented: referral to a mobile medical-social support team for the education of students with disabilities, which intervened in the class to assess the situation and support the teams;

the child's schedule was then arranged within the different classes where he is;

he is also supervised in the classes by a civic service.

Finally, an assessment has been initiated by the medical-psycho-pedagogical center of the department, whose diagnosis has not yet arrived at this time, a document necessary for any MDPH notification if it is necessary.

The academy also recalls that “every child has the obligation to attend school, regardless of their situation, whether or not they have special needs.
