“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.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
