Story: State weighs limits on school 'timeouts,' restraints
Apparently some parents don't like the fact that their children spend hours and hours in locked rooms for 'time-out.' This was also in the proposed rules: "Educators can't hold a child face down or otherwise use force that hampers a child's ability to breathe." Based on the fact that they even had to have a discussion about suffocating kids, it makes me glad I don't have a child in Iowa schools. I wonder if they are allowed to hook students up to car batteries as a form of discipline? Or is that going to outlawed too?

I am outraged by their practices. I am a mother of a student in this county and my son was in time out for TWO HOURS one day because he was talking out in class. He is only in 2nd grade but I was hoping the teachers were trained to properly handle situations like this. Neglecting my son and not giving him an education (which I am paying for) frightens and concerns me. I only hope his future doesn't have to depend on teachers and principals who give up on challenging pupils.
