[QUOTE="klmno, post: 223714, member: 3699"] I read that, too. It's horrible. I know they use time out rooms in some of our local alternative schools- for kids in Special Education classes with "emotional disturbances" (which ALWAYS gets viewed as nothing but a behavioral problem by teachers around here). I was trying to find a link that might say what guidelines are in other states. Anyway, here, the rooms have impact resistant drywall on them. I guess it's more important to protect the wall than it is to protect the kid by putting padding up. I thought time out rooms were used everywhere for these Special Education classes. What bothered me a lot about this article- other than the fact that the kid committed suicide, is that his diagnosis was adhd and depression. Well, his diagnosis might have been wrong, but I don't doubt that depression was involved. And I will never understand how anyone can honestly believe that disruptive behavior by a depressed person should be treated with (or can possibly be cured by) punishment. Especially punishment by ostracizing (sp). [/QUOTE]
