I remember a 5th grader, very large 5th grader who would start throwing desks across the room, attacking other kids, until the teachers physically subdued him. When he wouldn't stop fighting, biting, spitting, kicking; he was placed in the time out room, (12x12 padded walls) and the teachers would reason with him until he cooled down and then could re-enter the classroom. This kid had an aide with him for all the other kid's safety; even on the bus home. Aide couldn't even handle this kid.
This is our schools in today's world of inclusion and it's not going to change. When the district check's the family out, it's even worse. Heroin junkie mother, dysfunctional generations of family members, and you blame the teachers?
Time out rooms are quite necessary, I've seen teachers with stitches and bruises caused by violent kids. It's not the 1950's in our schools today.
They should do the sane thing and expel violent children if they don’t have the capacity to heal the kid. They should not add to the abuse.
I trust the integrity of public schools as much as I trust the integrity of Stalin’s regime. Too many are abusive, amoral and mean bullies enjoying a power trip. Follow teacher uions members around the Internet a bit and you will see what I mean. I would not let many of them take care of my cats let alone my children. Too many taboos governing adult interaction with children have been erased.
Public schools, because too many radical twisted freaks have moved in with dominance, are now dangerous to the well being of kids and families. They are like mental institutions or prisons lording over their inmates.
