The New York City Council is expected to approve a bill to ban solitary confinement this week over the objections of Mayor Eric Adams, who may veto it.
Well if I’m being disruptive in class then I’m a detriment to the education of other students; it’s not like class sizes are small enough that the teacher has time to deal with me. It’s a limitation created by understaffing, I think.
Totally agree. Our district has better ways of dealing with various needs of kids. It’s amazing how much better it was than when I was a kid. If a kid is disruptive they try to find and address the core issue. At least in elementary school (where they can have the biggest positive impact) ADHD? Treat it, give accommodations, etc. Behavioral or emotional issues? Bring in a psychiatrist (I’m not shitting, I saw this happen multiple times). And so on.
