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.
How about being sent to in-school suspension? Cuz I definitely did plenty of time sitting in a quiet room with nothing to do and no human contact for an entire school day.
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.
I didn’t actually get to do schoolwork, probably because no one was watching me. I was just sent to sit quietly in a room with nothing to do for the entire day, completely alone.

That treatment sucks too especially for kids. What was the purpose? Retribution?

Your ISS may have been different from mime, but we still had to do our schoolwork for the day. Even that is far different than nothing
