14 year old boys masturbating in class

[grinch45]

I am a regular education teacher.  I have two male students, age 14, who have,  masturbated in class.  One more frequently than the other.  They are not diagnosed with anything more serious than ADHD. I want them to get the help they need.  I also know that their behavior is obvious enough to impact the learning environment.  I have been told this is not the case because no parent has complained.  I feel that most 14 year olds find this behavior extremely embarrasing and will not mention it.  I have been told that they cannot be removed from my class.  Please help.

to be honest i think it was figuratively speaking and frustration all in one....it was never intended to be personal...eg..your friends kid scrawls all over you wall with a crayon...the little sh-t.....lol...,so hence the little pair of sh-ts...they were naughty etc...it was never intended in the offensive way it come across....
i would just be being a bully and that i dont agree with one little bit...
i didnt mean it....your right.,maybe to much focus is on the teacher also..although he is in an awful position....maybe the kids need some kind of guidance...hope they get it and i hope all involved do to

Anyway, I do think that your first sentence said you didn't mean to call them that name and that is good.  Otherwise, we are in agreement. :>)

Adhd is a neurological issue and these boys have IEP's if I read correctly placing them in the category of atypical students.  If you like to call kids little s&its, more power to you.  

anyway, hope that the teacher is able to get some support at some point to help with this situation.  I do feel for the teacher who has their hands tied.

i do agree..it was very unfair of me to resort to name calling in that manner,and i was wrong...i say im wrong..,it was never intended to offend although it came across that way..
these boys in question do not however have special needs.they were just two naughty boys that were not dealt with appropriately..,
And Demonizing is quite harsh,maybe the way i come across was worded wrongly..,i see your in agreement though regarding the behaviour of these boys..but the lecture of calling me inappropriate and unappreciated...that i wont apologise for...but like you said...its your opinion

I agree with what you have said here lisa...I dont believe its normal for children of 14 to behave like this and I would think that parents would remove their children  from this environment ...
