No. Because there has to be some way to chastise your children these days.

Street View: Do you think seclusion rooms in schools should be banned?
No. Because there has to be some way to chastise your children these days.

Yes, definitely. Teachers should be able to handle their students better. I've been a teacher and I think it comes down to better teaching strategies. Locking them in a room won't do them any good.

No. It seems to work with adults, so why not with kids? It can also take the danger out of the way for some of the teachers.
JOE SAVAGE, 30s

Of course they should be. The kids are probably just asking for help and need some attention. Then they end up disrupting the other pupils.
JOHN WAAKA, 50s

Yes. I don't think locking people away in any sort of context is a good idea if you are looking for positive outcomes.
