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.
Some of the comments on this thread are terrible.
This 6yo girl was in a special needs class.
Yes, the child should’ve been removed from class, if she was throwing a tantrum.
But, sedating her and holding her for 2 days at a mental health facility was an over-the-top reaction.
