An 8 year old? Some kids that age are quite large and can do real harm. Handcuffing makes total sense in many potentially dangerous situations.
I wonder how many of these know-it-alls have children attend schools where these situations arise.
“In my Adventures in Urban Substituting, I did get to see it all. One day I was in a KINDERGARTEN class where a student went crazy and was kicking, biting, banging his head, throwing things,.... He had to be handcuffed, for his safety and for everyone else’s.”
Sounds like a crack baby. Why they decided to put kids like that and others in public school I’ll never know. Disabled kids should be in their own special school and not disrupting the other kids with their sudden, unexpected outbursts. This is just not fair to the teachers and other students who need to learn.
Same for the add kid in this story. I know there are true cases of that. These kids should NEVER have been “mainstreamed”. This whole thing has been a disaster.
