Brickbat: One Is the Loneliest Number

The Anchorage, Alaska, school system has reached an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department to stop placing students with disabilities in seclusion and to restrain them only if there is imminent danger of them causing harm to themselves or other persons. A federal investigation accused the school system of inappropriate use of seclusion and restraint of disabled students.

You can't get any more secluded than Alaska.

Eliminate the government school system.

So are they supposed to ruin the learning environment for the rest of the students instead?

Imagine being in a classroom with an adolescent Pluggo or squirrbil.

How can anyone be expected to pay attention after the student next to them shits their pants?

That is a current Biden (D) negotiation tactic.

Not exactly. From the linked article:

When a student is placed in seclusion for threatening themselves or another person, they go into an empty room that has a door and a lock on the outside and cameras inside. A staff member or administrator is outside the door monitoring the student to ensure their safety. The time they are inside varies, from seconds to several minutes, until the student no longer poses a danger.

Going forward, the district will have a student enter a multisensory de-escalation room, which does not have doors or locks. Staff members and students will work to identify what their sensory needs are and use specific activities to support those needs, giving the student the opportunity to self-regulate or to calm themselves with the support of a staff member.

I must say, "Multisensory de-escalation room that doesn't have any doors or locks" sounds *a lot* more like a coffin or grave.

Mainstreaming. The gift that keeps on giving.

"Disabled" students. You mean students in wheelchairs or on crutches or deaf students? Why would they be a threat to themselves or others such that they need to be isolated from other students? Oh, you mean mentally or emotionally challenged students who aren't fit for normal social settings like school. Yeah, they shouldn't be in school fucking things up for everybody else in the first place. Sorry your kids a retard, lady, but schools aren't miracle workers and we gotta practice a little triage here.
