well, you don't know my child and if you did you would know that he usually lets other kids push, grab do whatever they want to him, and only on the occasions where it has gotten to the point where he is pushed past his threshold has he done it. noone considers him aggressive. [ Reply | More

you have to be on top of him- watch his every move at first, and recognize the triggers, and pull him away before he does it. You can get books too- the one we have is called Teeth are not for Biting. And eventually this too shall pass... [ Reply | More

MCS is very much built on the civil rights movement. Some aspects are hyper-traditional (eg, to graduate, kids must make a meal for their entire class at the farm, complete a weaving project, take care of the animals.. the farm is part of the curriculum). But in general, they're very progressive, similar to Bank Street (and students from many of the more progressive teaching programs at Banks st and elsewhere send student teachers to MCS).

I don't understand. When they took this process over, did they not know it would be a major project and that parents would expect clarity about the whats, whens and hows?
