[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t they need to have parents permission to do this? On our registration forms (public school) there is some sort of paragraph about this. I always check “no” (as in- no you are not allowed to put my kid in that room). My kids do not have any special needs and it has never come up, anyway. I have also never heard of them putting a kid in there (not that I necessarily would). I’m not even sure our school has such a room at all? Have had three kids at the school and know the layout etc very well and have volunteered a lot over the years. [/quote]

NO. They do not need parents permission to do this. Parents have even sent signed letters saying that they do not want their child to be subject to seclusion/restraint and it is ignored. 
Also seclusion and restraint aren't just applied to kids in special educaton. The school can do this to any kid that they think is having a behavior they don't like.

Are you seriously trying to say this doesn't exist because you haven't seen it? Do you even know anything about the self contained classes at your children's schools?

I volunteered at my kids schools and never saw the rooms or the self contained classrooms, but they were there. One hs in Loudoun kept one child completely secluded in a basement room for the years that child attended the school. The child did very well at their middle school but the principal at the high school wanted nothing to do with any kid with an iep. The windows in the room they kept the child were covered. The child was never allowed to interact with other kids and they assigned thug like male teachers who were inadequately trained to work with the student. It was like a prison and none of those teachers treated the student with even the slightest bit of respect. They treated this kid like an animal and that caused behaviors in the child. We had case managers at that school who didn't even know basic info about disabilities and assumed all kids with ieps were behavior problems and not to be trusted. [/quote]
Jesus. I am so sorry for that kid.[/quote]

To make it worse the kid came home with injuries regularly. The mom was on top of things, knowlegeable and a good communicator. School staff wouldn't answer her questions and mostly avoided her.

For the person who keeps making it sound like the kids with issues are the problem, can you imagine being a parent of a disabled child or a non verbal child who is sent of to school knowing that you have barely a clue as to what is going on in the classroom? I know a parent with a non verbal child who wanted basic information about what the child was doing at school, and the principal told the parent the teacher wasn't allowed to talk to the parent any more. The parent was not rude and was appropriate. The principal didn't want the parent to know what was going on in the class. As a bonus, the principal reported the parent to cps for no reason. [/quote]
