Nicole Miller, a Long Island mother, discovered that her son Cooper's time-out room at North Ridge Elementary resembled a jail cell rather than a safe space for behavior regulation. Initially assured by school staff that the room was for helping Cooper manage his behavior, her visit revealed stark bars on the door, leading to feelings of betrayal. State laws dictate limited use of such rooms for safety concerns, which Miller claims exacerbated her son's issues. She has since relocated Cooper to a school that does not employ time-out rooms.
I felt so betrayed by the system.
