You know I'm no stranger to stupid school issues, but this one is a first for me. Sounds like she watched too many "Lean on Me" movies instead of reading her textbook on appropriate consequences for elementary students.

Walking the fence? Ya, my child will do that just as soon as you pull that stick out of your bum and actually focus on the EDUCATION priorities of your job.

She'll be so busy counting her warnings for each child and tracking the number of fence walkers that she will not have time to teach. When discipline becomes the focus and not actual teaching, that tells me A LOT about a her and teachers in general.

My kids have missed recess for a variety of things and I'm okay with that as a consequence. I do not believe in 2 consequences though. Missing recess is one, making them walk during it is another. And at age 5?

Her attitude from the get go tells me a lot though and I think you are really going to have to be on your A game this year to deal with her. (Which I have no doubt you will B...BRING IT!) ROFL!
