HANDCUFFS IN FIRST GRADE !
The Chicago Public Schools are now being sued because allegedly one of their security men handcuffed a few first graders and took them out of their classroom. The students were put in a room and isolated from the rest of the class because they were being disruptive.
I wish the media would stop writing about such stories. We are supposed to be trying to attract the best and brightest new teachers to the Chicago schools. Who in their right mind wants to teach in a system where FIRST GRADERS are out of control ?
The media also needs to understand to use the proper educational linguistics when reporting such stories. Handcuffs is a term that the media needs to avoid. In a school setting, handcuffs are probably best referred to
