end scream rooms to punish school students

Created by M.I. on February 25, 2014

This past August, an Arizona teacher used duct tape to restrain a second grader to a chair because she was getting up to sharpen her pencil too frequently.1 In December 2011, a Kentucky school district restrained a nine year-old child with autism in a duffel bag as punishment. The child’s mother witnessed him struggling inside the bag while a teacher's aide stood by and did nothing.2 In Indiana, a teen was repeatedly left secluded in an unmonitored room for hours at a time during January 2011.
