They're teachers. They are not mental health professionals. Some of them may have 90 kids to teach a subject, papers to grade, lesson plans to write, ect.
In a perfect world, they could call the parents and have them deal with it. Or have a guidance counselor to help.
It's 11:05. Johnny just smacked lisann in the back of the head, and is screaming at the top of his lungs. You tell him to stop but he just yells "make me"! This is the fifth time in three weeks that he has done something similar. Now what?

So how do you get disruptive kids out of the classroom so the rest of the class can learn?
We already know that our country has a failed mental health system, and a lot of these kids are walking around with untreated mental disorders. How do teachers/administrators deal with kids who can't behave in a classroom setting to avoid having 30 kids who aren't learning?

Generally speaking, I'll chime in and provide an official response...

It's the moderator's policy not to speculate. No one here can claim to know them, and so no one here can be certain if this person is trying to escape or has been abducted or hurt. We know someone is "missing" and that they have people who want to find them in an official capacity.

That said, everyone else here is free to talk about it how they wish.

Best course of action is to stabilize the house so that someone could theorhetically live there or at least qualify for a mortgage and then sell it. With the proceeds, your parents should be able to downsize to a small condo or similar

I just want to know how South Hadley made the list? If you want boondocks Western MA next to UM ASS (my beloved alma mater) regular Hadley is kinda much better. Though I live in neither and am quite happy. Amherst is nice but too expensive, Hadley is right next door. Little more farmy but less trashy the S Hadley, especially the falls. Yeesh
