[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many general education schools have quiet rooms? My children have been in multiple schools in MCPS and I was only aware of one elementary school with seclusion rooms and they were located inside the special education self contained classes.

I am trying to picture how a general education student who is out of control is transported to a seclusion room located somewhere in the school. I don't think it would/could happen. I have taken restraint training and you are rarely transporting a child very far. If you did, you would risk injury for all involved. So I have to assume, that the vast majority of children that are being placed in seclusion rooms are already in self contained classrooms. If this is the case, then there really should be very few instances when things have gotten to such a dangerous place that transporting a flailing child into a room is safer and less  disruptive than any alternative.

Schools are not prisons or hospitals and should not be acting as such. If the only solution that the school has is to lock a kid up, then the child needs to be placed in a hospital. Seclusion has no place in schools or education.

THIS. It doesn't happen in gen ed. 99.9% occur in self-contained. [/quote]
