About this ebook
When do you restrain another person? When do you put hands on them? When do you release them?
A brief memoir about being a teacher at a special needs school in the 1990s. Students could be aggressive. Teachers followed guidelines and conducted restraint procedures until they were safe. It sounds simple when put that way. It wasn't.
The Long Weekend Review is a monthly e-zine that allows the writer to do whatever they want, as long as it is written in three days.
