[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Illinois is not using the rooms as intended and that definitely should be corrected. But at that doesn’t mean they are abused everywhere. SN kids can’t hurt people, even their teachers. I can’t believe some parents are okay with that.[/quote]

Who said it was ok?[/quote]

We are talking about whether it's okay to hurt the child. Pushing the kid into a seclusion room is causing psychological danger and often also physical danger. Clearing a room is not intended to leave teachers to get injured. They should absolutely not be in danger's way and able to move around the room out of harm's way which will be safer than trying to force an out of control flailing child into a room/closet.[/quote]

But don't the 24 children and teacher feel psychological danger and physical danger when chairs/desks are thrown at them 1-3 times per week?  It seems allowing the
unregulated child to remain in general and gifted classrooms can cause psychological danger and physical danger to the regulated children and teacher prior
to them walking out of the classroom.

Do special ed classrooms not exist anymore?  Back in the day unredulated children would be in special ed classrooms regardless of whether they were gifted or not.
The lock in a closet rooms did not exist.[/quote]

Did you read the article and the lawsuit against Fairfax schools? The closets are used almost exclusively for children who are *already placed in self-contained classrooms or special-ed-kids-only schools*. Putting children in "special ed classrooms" does not address the issue of use of locked closets. As another poster pointed out, your lack of compassion for disabled children is a sad reflection on your character. [/quote]
