[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the alternative? I'm not being snarky. Restraining the child? Medicating the child? A lot of these kids are physically harming the teacher or other students. Obviously if they aren't a harm to others they shouldn't be in this room, but plenty of the kids are a harm to others.

This. I'm in canada and my school district disallowed rooms like this, but the level of violence from one of the children in my son's grade is insane. Like they lockdown the pod, lock all the classrooms while he throws a fit flipping tables and smashing stuff in the hallway. He is 9. Presents fairly typical other than the rage at the drop of a hat. He's suspended right now but unless the school is allowed to inject him with tranquilizers a room seems the best bet. Awful but the school system deals with some pretty extreme cases these days. He is a big kid too. Nothing works. 4-5 teachers including administrators can't help him when he unleashes. Yet he has rights. The rooms are disturbing but more so the situation of exactly what kids do these days. It was not like that when I was a kid.[/quote]

You keep bringing up the most extreme cases. Your school system is not dealing with this appropriately. [b]There are better behavior systems, I'm not going to mention names here. [/b]It is like moving a mountain to get a school system to look at better training. Not every parent is trying to mainstream their kids. There is so little inclusion in public schools that you would be stunned.[/quote]

Why on earth would you NOT mention the better behavior systems!?[/quote]
