This is the school's response to the following accusation. Somehow after reading what happened to this boy, the school's clarification just makes it all the worse.

('It's not a FOCUS room! It's a SAFE room!' Oh, that makes it so much better...)

"By law I can't promise you a huge cash settlement...But I promise you a huge cash settlement..."

Now I know why my property/school taxes are so high, all these FOCUS rooms.

“Put your hands on MY Desk” was what the Principle use to say to me, as that whatever it was with all those holes drilled in it hit my skinny but.

Isolation and hypothermic torture — both CIA enhanced interrogation techniques — used on a 9 year old school kid and in violation of Texas law.

Part of Common Core ‘teaching’ technique or just liberalism in action?

A paddle is cheaper, delivers more for the bang of the buck, and goes directly to the problem.

A strong right arm and a couple of witnesses or a camera assures reason and standard, and protects the offender.

When I was in school they hit bad kids with “the board of educationion.”

The site states Alex's mother was taken to that room after she was "denied five times by the vice principle [sic]."

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Oh boo hoo. A few swats with a paddle would probably help little precious to focus a lot better. It did for me.

New Braunfels is German! Brown shirts in the ISD? “Ve have veys of making your kid behave! Ve just subjekt him to mental abuse!”

First the anti-American “Comprehensive”SD in SC messing with the flags on the student’s truck today, and now this. Someone please tell me if there are any people in the education “system” that give a $hit about the children?

[njslim]

Our elementary school has a “rubber room” padded with mats where violent disruptive kids are sent.......

[Jack Hammer]

The East German STASI used to have rooms like that.

[Timber Rattler]

My dad’s kindergarten teacher used to lock him in a dark closet in the 1940s for his childish transgressions and he’s still pissed off about it.

Teachers are lazy and stupid
