Due to restrictive breathing tactics used as school discipline...

20 students have died since 1990



WTF quote of the night....


from the nightly news about a hearing in the Capitol on this today. They highlighted a local case where a teacher sat on a student and he suffocated.

Where was this? Paddling seems more appropriate...

I heard about this on NPR this morning. Apparently there are concerns with discipling special ed students.

I bet the kid stopped disrupting class.

I'm 27 and if we were bad in the 5th grade, we would have to hold books in our outstretched arms for several minutes at a time, run laps for an hour, or do pushups. We had little disruption. 😛

The teacher that killed that kid moved and got a job somewhere near DC
Police charged her with homicide but grand jury overturned it, so she had no
note of it on background check and got rehired... Parents are freaking out.

It's about special ED kids.. so yeah they are disruptive...

And yeah you generally stop disruption when you die.

Are you sure the teacher sat on the student and they were not having sex?

Ah, well, I can't think of any case where sitting on students (Special Ed or not) is the best approach. I've had family who worked with Special Ed students and it can be really difficult.

Sitting on them though?

You know, if I saw somebody trying to restrict a kids breathing, I'd probably punch them in the throat as hard as humanly possible.

I have two young (9 and 11) mentally disable sisters, anybody tried that shit with them and I'd be doing more than that to em.

Wow, I would be with you on that one.

A big part of the problem is a push for inclusion programs where special ed students are co-mingled with the rest of the student body. Teachers who have none of the proper training required to deal with special ed students' needs are now forced into a situation where they have to teach and discipline them while trying to keep the rest of their students focused. It's really not fair to anyone (students or teachers) in my opinion.
