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]

Again, the teacher and other students shouldn’t have to move “out of harms way” AT SCHOOL.[/quote]

Plus 1.

The parents should be called to pick up their child when he/she is out of control.[/quote]

Are parents of children with behavioral disabilities not allowed to have a job? Should they just wait around to pick up their child because their child is not receiving an appropriate education? Or should we just make a decision that these disabled children should just not get any education?[/quote]

School is not daycare. We are reminded of this by DCUM every time we complain about bogus snow days. If a parent can’t get their kid’s behavior under control then yes they or the nanny or grandma or I don’t care who, need to come get the kid. This should not be the school’s job. And it’s incredibly expensive to tax payers. The county has to slash other budgets to cough up the money for all the extra staff to deal with these kids. A disproportional amount of money is spent on them and it’s not right.[/quote]

Don't worry, teachers aren't paid much.

I agree with previous posters, karma is a bitch! Disabilities can happen to anyone at any time. These kids are not behaving badly for fun, they behave this way because of their [b]disabilities and mental illness[/b].

Old people, disabled people, young people are still people and have the same rights as anyone else. If you don't like that, you can write to your congressperson to try to get the Disabilities Act revoked. That sounds like a nice way for you to spend the holidays.[/quote]

And if my kid got cancer or any other disability or mental illness I would NOT expect the school to treat it. [/quote]

No- you'd expect the hospital to treat it and the schools to educate your child. However, in our country, they have passed mental health onto the schools and are not treating the kids at the hospitals. Good try, though.[/quote]
