Are you thinking 30 minutes of walking is physically abusive? My 19mo walks an hour or more, continuously, up and down hills, most evenings. Unless a child has a physical disorder, 30 minutes of walking along the fence will not hurt him. And I agree with those who say it is better than having him sit.

I have a question: are you also against any time-out in KG? Because that's a physical discipline, too. If you are against that - then what type of punishments would you be in favor of? Just telling the parents later isn't going to keep the class in order. It would be even less effective than waiting until recess to walk the fence.
