Im wondering, is a teacher permitted to touch our children, eg as in our case, by grabbing them by the wrist to get them to move out of the room when they are having a melt down?

W is beside himself as he made a fake smoke..the teacher in the special need's room made a big deal of it (which I wouldnt have) and took it from him to were he cracked it. He was having a melt down at the teacher and aid and they decided to take him outside so he could cool down and when he wouldnt go the teacher grabbed him on the arms.

What annoys me is that she ran out to the car to give me the fake smoke but didnt tell me he had had a melt down OR that she had grabbed his wrist to take him outside. I was alright with the smoke thing, I actually backed the teacher but I just cant get it out of my head that she touched him n that way...would a normal child be treated like this?

None of this mind you is written in his communicatoin book either....which will be after tonight so I can have something in writing there.
