Kid in cage at school

I think keeping a special needs kid in a cage is bad, but I'm not about to condemn this teacher.   Was the kid violent? Did she have aides in the room? 

I worked in a special ed classroom for two years. Most of those kids shouldn't have been in a regular campus.

thoughts?

Was it really a "cage" with no way out or was it a quiet place?

A lot of special needs kids like small spaces. it helps them calm themselves. They feel safe in them.

So if this was a safe place for the kids to use, I have no problem with it.

I am wondering what she is doing at school with a diaper. I don't think that is ok.

Lots of special needs kids use diapers. I saw the picture. It was a cage made out of bookcases and baby gates.

But could the child get in and out of it? Step over it.

And I know a lot wear diapers. That just bothers me period. I know why they use them. I'm not going to point and yell gross.

Heck, I got my kids out of diapers as soon as I could cause I don't like diapers.

I cant explain it. I just don't like the whole diaper thing.

I think that the School needs to be very CLEAR on how to handle disruptive or violent children if that is indeed the case. There should be no ambiguity about what a teacher is supposed to do. Too often, I think Admin turns a blind eye and just tells the teacher to "deal with it".

 I totally agree.

 This.  And parents need to be on the same page too.

Yes. And a child should not be allowed to be abusive or violent towards another. If that is happening that child should be removed from class.
