Wow that is pretty rough at 1:25 they show a vid of them using it. The FDA approved it then with drew it their approval of it. I can't even believe they approved it at all.

Hey teacher leave them kids alone.

It's about time teachers were given tools to control unruly students...

 

[Exterous]

Wait - so why is the FDA involved in this?

 

[Pray To Jesus]

Need this for metro schools.

This is only used on unruly dangerous autistic kids.

I never understood why Tax money is wasted in the public school system for a population that will never learn or be capable of it.

Why not save that money and spend it instead on more gifted programs etc..

This pisses me off. The school has no business doing this.

Probably because the device is classified as some sort of medical device.

The majority of Autistic children/people have normal IQ, and are very capable of learning.

Anderson Cooper is so dreamy.

I don't understand why "adversive therapy" needs to be so complicated with gadgets and FDA non-approvals. Why not just beat the kids with a length of rebar??

we don't need no education.

Define unruly.

Have we sunk to a new low that we treat kids like cattle?

Physical punishment doesn't work with autistic children. You can beat them all day and they still won't learn.
