what is wrong with the corner? with a chair in the hallway?
It’s been awhile, but there have been other stories here at FR about these Isolation Rooms. And do we FReepers ever have opinions on them!
Good idea? Or a horrible throwback to the rubber rooms of insane asylums?
Why do we allow publik skoolz to sexualize children? to lock them in padded closets? to teach them complete lies? to teach them not to listen to their parents? to be obedient to the government?
Why are parents allowing this crap?
All they need now are tasers (aka human cattle prods), straight jackets, and Hannibal Lecter masks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What good is a corner or a chair in the hallway when a violent out of control child is harming himself and others?
Not like they will suddenly sit down and be still.
Thanks for that link. I guess it hasn’t “been awhile”.
I've used cool down rooms for out of control students. It gives the child a place to scream, punch and kick the walls, and no one gets hurt. You MUST keep eyes on the child, but being able to remove them from the other children keeps everyone safe.
Most students don't need a room like this, and it shouldn't be used for punishment. It's only a last resort.
“Put them in the Iron Maiden.”
The Emotionally Disturbed (ED) children need to be sent back to the loonie bin so they don’t have a chance of harming other children. But since the inmates are running the asylum it isn’t going to happen any time soon.
Excellent!
Out of control students... call the parents and send the kid home for them to deal with.
Government agents are not parents. They should also not be above the law.
If it is illegal for a parent to put a kid in there, then it is illegal for the school too.
No Child Left Behind requires that we educate them, too.
And no one's going to keep them in the loony bin - the district has to pay for an alternate educational setting, and districts don't want to do that unless the child is so dangerous that they're going to get sued.
My wife tought for 40 years and now subs a bit. she was recently asked to do 6 weeks in a class of 6 “disturbed kids” 2 blacks, 2 Chicanos, and two whites. They had a “padded Cell” in the room. There were two aids, one a big guy.
These kids would become very violent, foul mouthed, and uncontrollable. My wife got kicked, hit and swore at constantly. The guy aid would put the kids who became vilent in the padded cell, where they would scream and yell, and kick the door.
6 weeks of hell for my wife. They were all from single family situations - They all will become violent criminals and end up in jail. There is no hope for them.
How many will they kill, injure or violate(or vote for Obama)?
Genetics determines 70% of the sstructure of your brain - Maybe we should return to the frontal lobotomy. Most thinking is irrational for all, think the 53% who voted for OB.
Forget the rubber room - deport to the Congo.
Ah, but then we'e not meeting their educational needs and (NCLB again) we have to make up those minutes that they weren't in school because we sent them home.
That's what I've been doing the last 10 years. The paperwork is unbelievable - and you'd BETTER be making educational progress and have documentation to back that up.
Once in a while, you'll get a child with both parents - that kid is just wired wrong. Most of them are drug babies or severly autistic.
