Photos of a wooden box, allegedly used for student “time outs” at an elementary school in Akwesasne, drew shock and anger from parents this week and have prompted an investigation by the school district.
Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, near Cornwall, Ont., straddles the Ontario, Quebec and New York state border. St. Regis Mohawk School is a kindergarten to Grade 5 school on the U.S. side, and is one of four schools in the Salmon River Central School District.
Chrissy Jacobs, a resident of Akwesasne and a former Salmon River Central School District board member, posted the photos to Facebook Monday after they were sent to her by a teacher who’d recently resigned from the school.
Work has a quiet room, haven’t used it. Since we are a government organization, it looks a little clinical, but it’s better than a storage room.
At my work we use the walk in coolroom and typically a lot of screaming can occur.
Working in a restaurant kitchen was always great when you’re having a shitty day.
