Review Detail

I cannot and will never understand how an otherwise presumably decent teacher can go to work every day and routinely relate to other people who are compelled to be there, under laws they can't vote on and rules they can't change, by forcing them, under threat of greater punishment, to sit in a screened booth facing a wall in silence, controlling whether that person is allowed to use a toilet, turn around, eat, or drink, sometimes for hours or days.
These people are deliberately or at least recklessly humiliating and degrading children. They are imposing upon them conditions no adult in their right mind would either accept being imposed upon them, or impose on another adult.
I cannot understand how or why they are surprised when those children emerge from this staggeringly disgraceful treatment angry, alienated, and despairing of their circumstances.
There are right ways to treat other people and there are wrong ways to treat other people. Schools, teachers, and the Department for Education need to be reminded of that.
