I remember you and I joking around in another thread about some of the ridiculous GH packages that are out there. Who knows.... the label might deem a VR GH to be "good business".
I can't see it as something that would never happen. As Russ said, they might see it as a way to get more money squeezed out of them. I don't think it would happen now, maybe in a year or two.

Yeah I thought Barker was doing it because he didn't want anybody else doing it.

Randall and I usually disagree on political issues and the like, but this is something I agree with. It's not like they physically harmed the child. It's a lot better than paddling him. It sounds like the kid has a lot of issues (many of which can be attributed to the parents) and maybe he isn't ready for public school. I don't believe that the parents should have to pay for alternative schooling (mandatory education is a right), but other arrangements must be made.
I hear more and more crazy stories about students being physically, sexually, and verbally abusive to fellow students and authorities in school. They get away with too much. A lot of that can be attributed to parental issues. My dad used to teach special ed in a small community and by the time he retired in 1999 he was teaching the kids of people he taught 15-20 years before. If anyone got out of line in the classroom, parents were called. Unfortunately, the parents either didn't care or approved their children's behaviour. It's completely backwards.
A lot of parents have the perception that their children can do no wrong and therefore have no control. When these children get to school, they are used to a borderless environment. When placed into a structured institution they tend to lash out against authority and fellow students. If a student places others at risk, he or she should be restrained using whatever means possible.
I know some of you have kids and think this is horrible because you'd never want them to do this with your child. But if that kid went to your child's school and put the safety of your child at risk, wouldn't you want the child restrained?
Parents don't have to pay for education that is for children with special needs, public schools have the classes that deal with kids like this, IF the behavorial is impulsive, meaning the child can't help it. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't be disciplined but the child should be with teachers that can deal with this type of behavior if it cannot get under control, they have classes for that, that is free from the government, at least here anyway. The mother chose to put this kid in private school but if this kid doesn't get under control, they will kick him out.
My kid was with a kid that had impulsive behavioral problems like choking, hitting, pinching, etc. the teachers in his class delt with it because they are trained to, the mother wound up pulling him from the school anyway for this year and I can't say we weren't relieved but he wouldn't have been in my kids class this year anyway.
Bottom line is when you have kids, it's an entirely different story then just saying this kid deserved it. If parents did that, they'd be hauled off to jail and the kid taken away from them for abuse. So a school should do it?? I think not.
The school should have teachers, special ed teacher equipped to deal with behavioral problems and the parents probably needed to take this child to some behavioral classes before Kindegarten.
I am not saying nothing should be done because something should be but not handcuffs, I have seen other ways to deal with them.
My kid is in special programs that I don't pay for, he's doing great, never been a behavorial problem in school but at 15 months he was and we got it under control without resorting to restraints, it was difficult but it's over now. Had these parents addressed this earlier, this probably wouldn't be such a problem now.
Still doesn't make the school look professional if they resorting to handcuffs.
