As the saying goes, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I was pointing out that the alternative suggestion may or may not of worked and in that case placing her in a room to calm down was as valid idea at that time as any other so far presented.

Who is talking about 'potential situations'?

A child with special needs was in the class. She had no idea how to deal with special needs. End of.
But they are a large number(ever increasing) of different defined special needs categories all with various levels and different behaviour. How can someone be expected to be trained to cope in all situations. Especially where there was no obvious trigger for the girl's behaviour.

Is there somewhere an article where the mother says what the teaching assistant should have done? Apart from the girl being taught at home.
