[quote=Anonymous]While the outcome of this story is extreme, it comes as no surprise to anyone who has worked in a self-contained room. Almost everyone has a story about the time they got a serious bite, or how they're still wearing a mouth guard at night because they got head butted two years ago, or a gnarly scar from being stabbed with a pen. Make no mistake, most of the kids in these rooms are great. Yes, there are behaviors sometimes but that's expected in these classrooms and staff are trained. However, there is a subset of students who have needs beyond what public schools should be expected to handle. We are not set up to deal with untreated severe mental illness or mood disorders and most schools do not have the staffing to handle the kind of serious aggressive behavior that was happening in this classroom. Putting these demands on staff members in a public school is a great way to ensure burnout and no one willing to do these jobs.[/quote]
