Pupils made to leave classroom? Is this common?

[ThatWildMintSloth]

Hi,
On the weekend my child told me that a few times last week, themselves along with the rest of the class, including the class teacher, were made to leave the classroom and stand in the corridor due to the behaviour of one child. So the child who "wasnt making the right choices" (some kind of bad behaviour) as the teacher put it, had to stay inside the classroom and everybody else had to wait outside until said child "made the right choice."

I was pretty surprised and confused about this situation but then also I'm like ok maybe this is normal, what do I know?!

7 year old children.

Very interested to hear if this is common practice please.

Thank you.

@Justploddingonandon that's such a great outcome. My son Autistic/ADHD is so far loving secondary.

So much depends on the type of school and the teachers. So although his school is strict they are incredibly accommodating offering fidget breaks and understanding. There are clearly alot of ADHD / Autistic kids out there in mainstream now so they're learning more about how to help get the best from them.

It's really frustrating because the level of intelligence and capability for many is above average. They just can't cope with the inflexibility, having to sit still for hours and more. I do think that schools are wising up to it as they've been forced to.

50 years ago many children and adults with learning disabilities and autistic people were warehoused in long stay hospitals where they were subject to the most horrific abuse.

What I find really sad is that we haven't implemented inclusive education in the right way - national and local government have not resourced the support required- so people say inclusion has failed. But you can't say something has failed when it hasn't been given the full resources required to work properly.
