Have you seen the picture of the boy eating lunch at school, with a cardboard privacy shield around him, to
ensure he's isolated?
Plagued with car trouble, the daughter, Nicole Garloff, knew her son, Hunter, would get detention because of his late arrival.
His elementary school had a policy — in order for students make up
work they missed because they were late, they would receive detention
for every three tardies.
She was already upset by the situation, so she decided to visit her
son during lunch. Once she arrived, she learned that Hunter’s
“detention” entailed sitting by himself at a lunch table, separated from
all of the other children.
Some people are a little more compassionate than the adults at that school:
Meyer contacted Lisa McClease-Kelly, the owner of a local automotive
shop, to see if she would repair the family’s vehicle free of charge.
But after determining the repairs would cost more than the value of
the Dodge Durango, another local company, Rapid Repo and Collections,
stepped in and offered to donate a van to the family. McClease-Kelly
contributed by providing $1,400 in maintenance for the new van.
Stories like this, though with a happy ending, give those of us in the teaching profession a bad name.
Usually the administrators are the ones who set the "tone" of the building. Whether the teacher did this with authorization or not is really not the issue to me - other teachers had to have seen it and said nothing.
ReplyDeleteThat tells me it's the administration. What do you think?
I'm sure that's the procedure.
