My mistake. I failed to copy and paste after the jump, so the post was in effect, and excerpt.
Two time-out rooms were implemented two years ago for special needs students. But with growing community concern about their use, the school district drafted a new support plan to deal with students who act up.
Of course, this being written by a journalist major, the second sentence raises more questions than it answers, but my impression is that it's used for "special needs" students who are "main streamed" rather than provided with the "special needs" they need, all in the name of "compassion"
“Mainstreaming” started back when I was in grade school. There weren’t so many as there are now, but they still took up time and resources that inhibited the learning environment for the rest of the kids.
Anyone read “Anthem” lately?
