I've been physically assaulted twice now by the same student, both times no consequences were given. what can I do?

I am beyond upset! I am an assistant Pre-K teacher at a charter school in Arizona. I've had one child, L, assault me twice now.

I am beyond upset! I am an assistant Pre-K teacher at a charter school in Arizona. I've had one child, L, assault me twice now. The first time, he pinched me and dug his nails into my palm. I wrote it up and nothing happened. The second time, today, he smacks me, again, I wrote it up and nothing happened. He was not sent home, suspended, or heck even kept from recess. I am getting so pissed because L was kicked out of his past school for assaulting a teacher, and now he comes here and he suffers no consequences. I don't know what to do. This is my first teaching position and I'm already burnt out due to situations like this. I don't want to be ridiculous and threaten charges on a 5 year old but it's escalated from pinching to smacking, who knows what could be next. submitted by /u/teachinglittlebeings [link] [comments]
