They call it by a number of different euphemisms, like “cool down room” or “calming room,” but in practice, especially for the developmentally disabled, its solitary confinement. School officials have generated tens of thousands of pages of transcripts of the children subject to the enforced isolation within plywood boxes or padded cells. It makes for heart wrenching reading.
Now the widespread use across Illinois of this torturous disciplinary measure has been brought before the public by a Chicago Tribune expose. [Full Article Here]
Schools no longer teach, they brainwash.
Preparing them for their future in prison?
It fo da chirrens
prepping public school to prison
Good time to ask how all that school tax money gets distributed.
I’d of gone right past this story ordinarily, but read the text of the experiences of the students subjected to solitary confinement changed my mind about the importance of this article. It’s horrific.
When the schools started feeding the kidz morning, lunch and afternoon with a mountain of laws to conform to, they basically morphed into Kid Containers where learning is optional.
THE ROOMS ARE NEEDED!
When I was a substitute in a “not-so-great” public school, those padded, sound-proof rooms were for those SCUMBAG brats who shouldn’t even be in school. The door has a thick glass square to look inside just like a real prison cell.
Those out-of-control brats shouldn’t even BE in a public school, they should be institutionalized because they are violent and a danger to the other children, disrupt every class they are in. I would never let my kid be in the same room with them.
Don’t feel sorry for them, these kids are so screwed up with screwed up families and communities, they are beyond help. Every classroom should have a padded room for these future death row guests.
*anyone who wants more detail, ask and I’ll post something here later.
Meanwhile CA won’t even let teachers discipline disruptive students. New law.
It is one thing to wonder about the students, albeit disruptive or not and to what degree, but can you imagine what is actually hired to be the ‘security gaurds’? Some form of civil servant THUG probably and my PARENTS were both civil servants, so…
BTW, this is no different than the trash hired in the MCC that are now the Epstein patsies.
Has anyone seen a pic of them at their arraignment??

Allow me to analyze this pile of hot garbage for you
Oh bologna! Are these the same people who reported “concentration camp” conditions at the border? They are in there because they pick up chairs and threaten to bash other children’s heads in during story time when they laugh and the crazy kid thinks they are mocking and laughing at him. Yeah, I had to drag one to solitary for that, and he was in there screaming his head off for 2 hours. Screw him.
They get thrown in there because they are habitual HARASSERS of the teacher and other students. No one can put up with that 8 hours a day. Teachers can’t hit children anymore, so off they go into the punishment room….little brats!
Gee, I can’t imagine why, oh wait, I can, it’s because their parents are the cause of the kid’s problem in the first place, and staff doesn’t want to engage them for any reason.
100% false. The educational value is that the brat is not able to ruin the education of other students who actually want to learn. Better alternatives? Ha! I have heard that line of trash for over 20 years! All the backseat philosophers don’t seem to have the courage to step into the classroom and see if their phony-balony THEORY actually works. It doesn’t. “Now Da’Quan, please put down that super sharpened pencil you threatened to stab the other students with, I think you need some therapeutic treatment, how about some warm milk?”
Nope. Lies. If you wanted to be good, you had 20 chances to do it, now your ass is in seclusion, that’s how it works.
Oh for God’s sake! The rooms are professionally built, sound proof, padded, and monitored by the L.D. teacher the entire time! Jace needs to be institutionalized if he’s pissing, removing his clothes, shitting on the floor and wiping the walls with it.
Don’t fall for this propaganda
⏺ Every time we discipline kids, there is some goofball out there making sure we don’t, and that’s why we have all this trouble.
⏺ Those kids are there because the parents made these monsters, the staff has to control them, which everyone seems to hate. They should get a friggin’ medal for saving the other normal children from them.
⏺ Teachers are supposed to put up with workplace harassment 8 hours a day with indifferent parents and administration, OF COURSE they are going to throw these terrorists into confinement as often as possible, no one else is willing to discipline them.
⏺ If you don’t want teachers to rid themselves of a daily nuisance, then have the lazy parents come pick up their brats and take them home every time they need discipline.
Either bring back the wooden stick, paddle, and dunce caps, like the old school masters use to have, or settle for padded rooms.
Americans hate freedom because Trump does, but would Americans protest if Trump restored the Bill of Rights?
