[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“So the article is missing the other part - if this doesn't work, what does? Where is a system or protocol that keeps everyone safe, de-escalates the situation, allows teachers and students to keep teaching and learning and is not detrimental to kids?

What is the solution?”

+1 million [/quote]

+1M more. I'm an IA in a SpEd classroom. I'm reasonably young and athletic, and that's probably the only reason I haven't been seriously injured on the job. Other colleagues haven't been so lucky. You'd better be able to move fast if a 220 lb kid lunges at you. Anyone who thinks this is a rare occurrence or something that can be easily deescalated is welcome to sign up to substitute teach.[/quote]

So how do you get that 220 pound “kid” into the seclusion room? How is that safer for ANYONE than evacuating the other children in the room?[/quote]

I didn't. We don't use those rooms where I work. We clear the room when these incidents happen. This has happened multiple times this year and the first quarter just ended. The other kids in the class are getting screwed because of it and seem a lot more agitated when this child is at school. Their parents are complaining and I don't blame them. It's a crappy situation all around. [/quote]
