Four months in the quiet room? I will go ballistic with this.

It seems like your son has communication skills (based from reading your blogs)which my son still lacks so most likely you may have gotten information from him on what is going on in the school? In our case, he went home with bruises and was told that he did it himself or he fell here, bumped there, etc...I never knew what really happened since my son cannot talk yet that time (Kindergarten). It happened numerous times. When we complained to the district, we were told that there will be an investigation by the police. It never took place as we let him transferred to another school. And this second school was even worse than the first school. It was really a nightmare. Hence, we are in the third and final school.

Nonetheless, I hope you and your son are doing well in the new school.

It's hard to imagine this happening in the 21st century in the United States, except maybe in some sort of weird cult community.

Wow. That's crazy that parents did that. I am glad you have representation now.

I homeschool, and I pulled my son out of school after the First grade. He couldn't hack the classroom, even with an aide. The teacher wasn't being trained, the district wasn 't supporting her and I felt bad for her. My son was never bullied, but I know it would have been a matter of time. He is happy being homeschooled, and now has friends, something he didn't have much of in school.

I thought of Jaysen's experience and what you've been through with the parents at your school when I heard this story -- and read the comments some people have been making in support of what the teacher did! Sheesh.

I read today that you can e-mail Alex's family at supportalex@treasurecoast.com. I wrote a letter to the school district to express my support for the family, but haven't written the family directly yet.
