[quote=Anonymous]Yes. It offers time to reflect. Sometimes when kids are making a choice and want to do the right thing but are tempted, they have to have something to "scratch against" like "I would, but I don't want a dentention," to show their friends they have a limit to what they will do. It also empowers teachers to keep order and keep teaching. It is a punishment to the parent, because the routine is interrupted, but sometimes that is a good thing. It shines a light on what needs to change. [/quote]
