Parents in Middletown, Connecticut are protesting against the use of what they re calling scream rooms" by Farm Hill Elementary School as a way of disciplining misbehaving students. According to NBC, school staff have been putting children, including students with special needs, in what the district officially refers to as "time out rooms." Parents who opposed to the use of the rooms voiced their concerns at a recent Board of Education meeting, arguing the practice was causing more problems than it was solving. In a letter to the school board, Farm Hill PTA President Apryl Dudley said the children are brought to the "scream rooms" to calm themselves down when they are out of control, but that she worries about their safety. "My fear is that a child is going to get severely hurt," she wrote. "Three parents called me after they witnessed two staff members holding a door shut from one of these rooms with a child on the other side as they kicked and screamed uncontrollably." In response, Superintendent(监督人)Michael Frechette said he is aware of the issues and that they are being addressed. "Concurrently, we have been putting together a comprehensive plan to proactively address the issues at Farm Hill," Frechette told the paper. "Recently, we have formalized our action plan for Farm Hill which will be stated clearly to the faculty and staff on Friday, January 13 with Central Office in attendance." Board of Education Chairman echoed Frechette’s response, telling NBC the board would be investigating the situation. "We are looking at it very carefully and if corrective actions need to be taken," she told the station, "we will be doing that quickly. "
