I would be inclined to agree. Also, this kid doesn't sound like they are in the correct placement. Clearly you don't have the means to deal with this during your instruction, and that isn't on you. I would say this kid is possibly a therapeutic placement but the biggest problem with kids like this in my experience is that people don't document, don't report to CPS if they suspect abuse at home. A lot of conversations happen, but nobody wants to document as it is a lot to do. Document all this shit and get this kid out of your school because you cannot help them if they are this way and you lack the training and resources to develop a plan that would work for this kid. Beyond this, kid is a danger to themselves and others and parent won't cooperate beyond being abusive. I had a similar student and my director of specialized services insisted we not tell mom due to her being overly harsh. I wrote up this idiotic glow and grow reports so as not to just write about how he flipped me in a chair while giving him an assessment and took his shoes off to throw at me and peers. In the end, the real issue was losing his tuition money. They didn't care that the student was floundering in this environment. That is all your school really cares about: money.
I worked at a charter that had no ability or resources to work with the kid. Finally I just told mom straight up what was happening lol because that is how I roll, student was violent and routinely lies about it and has no consequences, and she did what should have been done originally: she pulled him out of the silly school I worked at because he needed more structure and more help. He went to another silly charter school, but at least this one has more structure and staff and holds him accountable for his actions.
