THEY TELL ME THAT THE MAIN ARGUMENT AGAINST HOMESCHOOLING IS THAT HOMESCHOOLED KIDS DON’T GET “SOCIALIZED.” Is this what you mean by “socialization”? “Texas HS removes bathroom doors due to safety concerns.”
The principal of a Texas high school decided to remove restroom doors in order to get a grip on drug use and other “significant behavioral events” that have already occurred this year, according to a report.
Christina Steele Hantgin, the principal at Austin ISD’s Travis Early College High School, sent a letter to parents explaining her decision while admitting that she could have done a better job communicating her plans, according to CBS Austin.
She said in the letter obtained by the station that there have been behavioral events and “conduct violations” that have occurred inside these restrooms, including about 90% of drug offenses. She said there have been no incidents since taking down these doors. (No stall can be viewed from the hallway outside, another report said.)
And who said socialization was a virtue anyway?
