Quote from the cited article, “McKenzie had an individualized education plan. But for most of the school day, she was restrained in a special chair, which was not part of the plan. When she was considered defiant, she was left alone in a bathroom — also not in the plan. And when she needed to calm down, she was taken to the school’s basement until she smiled and was given cereal as a reward.”
The sad part is that people have to be told that this policy is wrong.
“she was taken to the school’s basement until she smiled and was given cereal as a reward.”
That is so twisted.
I know…it’s awful. I hope the mom sues and sues and sues them again.
