[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in school to become a teacher. I have interned in a school and witnessed  various teachers take away minutes from recess as a form of punishment. I asked the teacher who I was working with why they do that and she said because it not only works, but also because there is nothing else they can do. It made me wonder, what can they do? Parents, if your child is constantly disturbing the class (speaking out of turn, putting down another child, not doing work, etc), what do you suggest a teacher do? Honestly, I hate taking away recess but no clue what would work[/quote]

In the OP.  If it worked, the teacher would not still have to to take recess away in march like she did in August.  It doesn't work. Kids need to blow off steam, to get some energy out.  Otherwise you'll have even more behavioral problems on your hands. You need to find out what makes those students tick, why they are misbehaving, talk to the schooo counselor, talk to parents. But please do not lull yourself into thinking that taking away recess works.  Also, my son is smart enough to know it's not fair to him to behave and get recess taken away because other problem kids messed up. What kind of a lesson is that teaching my son? [/quote]
