A few weeks before 13-year-old Jonathan King killed himself, he told his parents that his teachers had put him in "time-out."

Hey guys this kid with a mental disease keeps acting up, what should we do with him?
I know! Lets lock him up in a room for the whole day. **** this country's education system.

While I guess that would've helped him, I think it's not a good approach. I don't think there should be any seclusion rooms, because if you lock a kid up in such a room he's not learning anything, and if he's not learning anything the point of school is gone. (Don't be witty and say you're not learning atm either. I understand that, but it's at least an attempt at making you learn)
Kids like that boy should go to a special school and I don't understand why that school didn't advise the parents the same thing if they felt it was necessary to literally lock that kid up.
I'd sue the **** out of that school. You send your kids to school because they're supposed to learn something there. If my kid would get thrown into a damn cell all day long, how can you justify that as a school? It's school, not a damn rehabilitation centre..

Compulsorily schooling ftl? You know: If they got rid of public schooling the quality of education would rise and the price will start to drop as demand and supply catch up. *shrugs* You'll get all types of schools.

Well, personally, if the story were narrated by ng's famous "strawberry clock", then I would laugh at the poor kid... but since it's not... 
Omg I wish someone could have helped the boy... I just kinda blew through this one. (HA! That's what SHE said!)

Public Schooling is on par Private Schooling, In
Australia at least. I have tried both, and for the social aspect Public is better than Private so I rathered Public Schooling. Public / Private both are better than Home schooling.
Might I say, the price for Private Schooling isn't all that expensive anyway, a year it costs about $15,000-25,000 depending on where the school is, and the reputation they have etc.
I can't see the quality of education rising by that much. That's just me.

Well the whole public VS private thing has a lot to do with economics. Since I don't feel like setting up a mind test myself I'll go find one. This applies to all socialized institutions, but the cost/effect may vary from system to system; as for American schools "ugh."
