Weekday Reflection: School Abuse

By , About.com GuideOctober 9, 2009

Follow me on:

Read: "We live in an age where order in school is a potent justification that can prevail over reason, rule and appropriate discipline. We deserve better and schools and prosecutors need to send a clear signal that students especially those with special needs will not be objects of verbal or physical abuse." -- Charles Fox, from the post "School Cop Beats Student With Special Ed Needs Caught on Tape" on the Special Education Law Blog

Reflect: Are efforts to promote order and safety in schools protecting or endangering my child? Do I know about school policies and how they will effect my child? Has my child expressed fear about anything or anyone at school?

Respond in the comments with your own thoughts on this quote and how it applies to your life with your child.

Every weekday, take a moment to read, reflect, and respond to a passage from a book, blog, or article. ... More Reflections
