Can the school detain and search (body, chattel, locker) a completely innocent student based on hearsay evidence when the school itself holds definitive exculpatory evidence in its posession? Apparently so! |

Teachers put wrist bands on the kids if they get into trouble. The affected children have to wear the wrist bands so everybody who sees them knows they are in trouble. What is this for? To prejudice other teachers (and peers) against the child? How is this different from the dunce cap that was removed from our schools decades ago? |

During lunch a boy gets up to do something and the girl sitting next to him puts his carrot sticks in his nachos. Upon returning the boy grossly overreacts and dumps his entire tray over the innocent girl sitting on the other side of him. The lunch monitor comes to take away the boy and the dumped-upon girl but the guilty girl fesses up and goes instead. The two spend the entire rest of the day in ISS before finally seeing the vice-principal at the end of the day. But it doesn't end there. |

A recent transfer student (from a school w/o BIST) had a question to ask about the math lesson, but the teacher had said “no questions now”. The child raised his hand again and the teacher then sent him to the Safe Seat for “being disruptive.” When he got sat down in the safe seat he asked if she would answer his question now. This got him sent straight to the “Buddy Room” where he was told to sit down and do his work, but he said he couldn’t do the work because he still had that question about it, whereupon he was sent to the “Recovery Room” where he said he didn’t even know why he was there since he didn’t do anything (of course by this time he is indignant since all he had done was try to ask a legitimate question about his math lesson). So he got sent to the vice principal for being a wise guy. The principal ended up calling in the parents and sending the kid home. So in this case the poor kid gets put through the entire discipline system and the parents get called in just because the teacher wouldn’t answer his question and refused to simply ignore his raised hand until the appropriate time for questions. |

Buddy Room Segregation for ADHD Child |

A girl diagnosed as ADD/ADHD was put in the “Buddy Room” simply because her regular teacher didn’t care to deal with her. The girl is on meds, has no behavior problems, and gets all her work done. But she is put in buddy room just because. The school did NOT notify the parents that this was occurring. Is this special ed.? So what happened to mainstreaming? It seems as though all the kids are now treated as behaviorally disordered so now you have to have an IEP to be treated normally. In our opinion this is illegal on its face. |

How could an intelligent child who had been recognized for the gifted and talented program in the first semester of kindergarten come to view himself as a failure by the middle of fourth grade? Why would a child who had never experienced tragedy in their life, neither a family divorce, death of a loved one, personal abuse or trauma, etc, become emotionally distraught and overwhelmed by the demands of a normal school day? These were our questions in looking at our son transform from a bright, spirited youngster into a troubled child before our eyes.
