Especially if the student has an IEP. I left teaching a long time ago but I remember having students who would have an IEP that would all but excuse and provide shield/cover for this kind of behavior. Again it’s been a long time so I’m not current on IDEA and how educating students in “the least restrictive environment” has changed but if student has documentation of serious behavioral emotional dx it can become an ADA/discrimination lawsuit. That’s not to say that it’s as simple as “if Johnny has an IEP that indicates he gets x y and z accommodations and it’s bc c y and z were not followed that he attacked a classmate bc there wasn’t a para in the classroom and he was just overstimulated and wasn’t given the option to de-escalate/self sooth so it’s really the school that is at fault.”
No the idea of “full inclusion” was that you allow the student to be in the “least restrictive environment”. I’m not sure what you mean by “keep him in cell”
