The impression I got was that the children are being put in these concrete closets for one reason or another—and after a while they go nuts and start screaming...............
This is child abuse, pure and simple. When oh when are we going to take back our schools?
Teaching and training our children properly, with good parental involvement is the only hope for the future of this once great land.
If and/or when our Great Nation crumbles into a third world hell hole, we can look back and recognize that when we lost control of the schools, that was the pivotal point.
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"
This IS the key, if parents are fully involved in their children's education and cannot bring about changes in the school, then at least they are aware of the problem and can make changes including switching schools or homeschooling their children to solve the problem.
Too many parents are not involved in any way. My oldest daughter is a single parent and a nurse that works a lot of overtime. She is involved in her son's education and cannot believe how many parents are totally uninvolved. Many parents do not care or want to know what goes on at school.
I do know when my girls were in school the school would verbally support parent involvement but in reality discourage parents in every way possible. I think schools really want parents to turn their children over to them and keep out of it...I refused to do that. I was always willing to help out at school, but also quick to speak up if I did not agree with anything that was happening at school. I was not a favorite of the administration, what they really wanted was worker bees that keep their mouth shut.
When all godless socialist K-12 schooling in this nation is permanently padlocked, and all education is private.
