I would never in a million years want to be a teacher in a school district because you are no longer able to keep control of your class. Is a teacher just supposed to tell a kid 50 times a day to not do that. If one child sees a kid getting away with something, another child is going to try it out. What discipline do you want the teacher to do. Would you rather your child be sent to the principal for discipline so that you can get a phone call every day instead of them doing a time out?

The school district I live in has a policy, if another child didn't see or hear it happen, it never happend. So kids are able to cuss, hit, whatever their teacher and not get into any trouble as long as no one else saw it. What message is this sending to our kids? Discipline starts at a very young age and if it is not learned while they are young, good luck with them as teenagers and adults.

My child has to stand in the corner when she is in trouble, is this physical punishement? I don't think so. She's is still the little girl who always has a smile and gets complimented for being well behaved and polite by strangers. No harm done.
