[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that unfortunately some kids were restrained too much and/or sent to "calm down" rooms, so now the pendulum has swung to don't touch and student unless they are actively harming themselves or others. And by harming others adminisitrators make it seem like it if you can block a punch or something being thrown at you it doesnt' count as harm to others.

So it used to be you had a kid throwing chairs in a classroom, screaming and cussing at the top of his lungs threatening others and knocking over bookshelves and throwing computers you could restrain the student and remove the student from the classroom. The student learned in most cases they didn't want to be restrained. Other students felt safe because the offending student was taken out. Now that student has complete control to destroy a classroom and there are no consequences. So students are emboldened to do whatever they want. They walk in and out of classrooms, cuss at teachers and students, throw things, hit, bite and scratch others, etc.

So picture being in a Target and someone is upset and decides to throw things off the shelves and at other customers. It would be like the store needs to be evacuated until the person decides to calm down and leave and the police are never called.  Society can't function like that. So I don't understand why people would expect schools to function like that.
