On April 12 a young 10 year old boy who has autism was arrested at Okeechobee Achievement Academy in Florida for “allegedly kicking and scratching the educational assistant who was working with him”. The Washington Post reported that “After the arrest, the boy was taken to a juvenile detention facility where he spent the night. His mother offered to go with officers in the police car, but they refused her to go with.” Okeechobee County schools to charge him with “battery on a school board employee” a third-degree felony in the state of Florida. Scott Badesch, one of the authors who helped with the article mentioned that “It appears the school’s responses were beyond wrong and evil.” The author was clearly trying to state that this is unfair for the poor student because he has autism and wasn't aware of what he was …show more content…
To be exact, ascribed status, a status one is born with. Schaefer has a great way of explaining status and make it clear. Having an ascribed status is something you can't change, the 10 year old boy was born with autism and it was his ascribed status he couldn't change. It wasn't his fault or choice to be born with this disability in life. People should definitely think different because the boy was autistic and didn't know what he was doing to kick and scratch the teacher. He didn't deserve to be arrested and this act should be a shame for the people who decided to call the police. I definitely am against what measures were taken on this student's actions. There was no reason to get the police involved and have the 10 year old taken to a juvenile detention center for the night. The poor autistic child had to suffer and was crying because he wasn't aware of what was going on. Many others agree that this was a major overreaction in the comments of the article. The boy should of have just received a school notice to the parents and a personal punishment from the parents at

    Special Education Policy Case Study

    Special Education Policy Case Review There are four sources of law in the United States, one of which is the rulings of judicial courts (Russo & Osborne, 2008). It’s these court trials and judicial opinions that determine how legislation is to be interpreted and applied because at times, legislation is ambiguous or broad or may not necessarily take into account the affects of preexisting legislation. As with all other types of legislation, lawsuits regarding special education occur and it’s the result of these laws that have determined how the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is interpreted and implemented. Three cases, Doug C. v. Hawaii, PV v. Philadelphia, and Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District are recent cases…

    First Amendment Basics Summary

    The Constitution and the Amendments are the basics of the US’s politics. However, sometimes, people, especially young people and teenagers, don’t have enough knowledge about it and so, they begin to abuse it as an excuse for any problem. Fortunately, in his “Why First Amendment still matters to students” article, Tony Mauro addressed this issue, but in a smaller scale, in schools and among students. To be more specific, according to Mauro, school officials often develop amnesia about the Tinker case, the case where a student was being violated of her rights by school officials, whenever a student deviates from some standard of behavior. Even though he had good intention when saying this, Mauro’s point of view was off target.…

    Armstrong V. Kline Case Study

    The plaintiffs side challenged the 180-day school year rule under the violation of equal protection, under the fourteenth amendment, and, as I mentioned previously, the Education for all Handicapped Children Act, too1. This side, also, made the point that the Department of Education requires at least one annual IEP per child1. An IEP includes the current levels of the child and, the goals they hope to obtain within that years’ time1. However, districts refused to fund more than the 180 days, even though it is an annual, aka one years’ time, goal(s) to achieve list1. On the other side of this debate are the defendants, who claim that the loss of skills are due to the nonfunctionality of what is being taught to the children, a lack of competence in teachers and, that parents are failing to practice the program properly with their children1.…

    Special Education Case Study: Is This Child Mislabeled

    In reading the case study, “Is This Child Mislabeled,” there is a lot of great information on children with disabilities. In the case study there is a boy named Sergio, who is a third grader from Serbia, where he is now a student at Oakwood Elementary. He has been diagnosed as having a learning disability due to the fact that he tested poorly on the assessments that his new school required. In reading the article, and some very great points for The Iris Center Star Sheet, I believe, that Sergio has, in fact, been mislabeled as having a learning disability; however, with the help of Mrs. Evans, his new resource teacher, he is getting the help that is truly needed. To begin, Sergio was not assessed adequately.…

    Living in the United States, we often see the flash of blue lights and hear the whir of sirens.

They may have arrested someone for the wrong reasons or for no reason at all. When students come to school, they expect an education.…

    Summary Of No Matter How Loud I Shout

    Even though he didn’t know he was in a stolen car and didn’t take any part in a schoolyard fight which had occurred earlier, he was charged with two felonies. Overall, I was thoroughly surprised to learn how the juvenile justice system handled the juveniles under its care. I was surprised to see what little involvement the juveniles had in the court room and how they sometimes didn’t even talk, they just sat there listening to what was going on. Another thing I was surprised about was that there were so little options to send the juveniles who had problems and that some of the options didn’t work which resulted in the kid continuing to commit…

    Autism Observation

    I believe that children with autism, learning to interact with first responders is critical. On the other hand, it is just as essential for first responders to understand autism and be prepared to respond effectively and safety to situations that arise involving children on the autism spectrum. For example, that incidence that occurred last week at a school in Florida, when a 10-year-old with autism was arrested last week and handcuffed. He clearly didn’t know what was happening and many on the autism spectrum do not like being touch. I know the child was being disruptive in class and threaten the paraprofessional in a previous incident, but law enforcement could have handle the matter differently and get the same result at the end.…

    Sociologists Role Strain Essay

    Sociologists narrowed the breakdown of our social structure to five different elements, which are: statuses, social roles, groups, social networks, and social institutions. First I will discuss my personal experience with ascribe status, achieved status, and master status. Then I will bring an example of role strain and role conflict from personal experience. Giving the reason why, I will then discuss which one of these two roles is the most difficult in terms of role exit. Ascribed status is viewed by sociologists as an assigned status to a person by society, without his/her unique talents or characteristics.…
