I’m not familiar with rules in Florida schools but as a Michigan teacher I can tell you that picking the child up to move her is not as simple as it sounds. You can not touch a child in anyway that could be construed as causing physical harm. In fact, in all of the schools I’ve worked in, there is a “squad” of teachers that are called on to deal with violent children. These teachers have to undergo special training on how to handle or restrain children. How sad is it that this has become a necessity in our schools?
