physical discipline (walking) at school for kindergarteners...yes or no?
still not over the school supply fiasco....don't get me started again. lol. but last night i went to back to school night. the teacher holds up this piece of paper and says, "sign it, turn it in, and then don't call me in the middle of the year telling me you 'didn't know' my discipline policy bc i'll pull this out and say 'yes you did.' " i look down and it says that the 3rd, 4th, and 5th time she has to warn my child in a day, he will walk the fence at his recess time for 5, 10, or 30 minutes. um...he's five. as much as i know that there needs to be a plan (former school teacher here, 5 years in K), i really disagree with making little kids have a physical punishment at recess for something that went wrong in class. i also feel like this causes a child to be ostracized by kids as they have to walk by all of them playing while they walk the fence. again.....they are five. it really bothers me.
what's your opinion?
