Love this "Think back to the 70s, and the outcry when caning and corporal punishment was abolished for schools: at the time, there was a significant number of teachers who said, education as we know it will now be impossible"
So many troubling ideas about disabled students in the original article. @EducationGovtNZ needs to develop and implement a nationwide plan to end the use of restraint in schools. The guidelines that are currently being planned are not enough!
Love the comments in this additional reporting about restraint in specialist schools from @PaulaTesoriero and @OCCNZ thank you to @SamSachdevaNZ for reporting on this! https://t.co/e03GKPXdrJ
