[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why in the world are they not allowed to talk at lunch????

They are in school all day. Let them be kids for 30 min FFS. I have an issue with the whole rule to begin with so I'd start there.

Some punishments are valid and I would support the school in enforcing it. This one I would have a hard time with because 1) he should not be in trouble for talking in the first place 2) yes, he should not be publicly shamed for it. GFC[/quote]
Perhaps someone was speaking to the kids and he did not quiet down after several requests for silence. Or perhaps this is one of those schools that expect the children to be quiet for the first x minutes because they found that too many kids were socializing first and then ran out of time to eat. I understand that OP’s kid is embarrassed but it’s not clear to me that the purpose of the punishment is to shame or embarrass the kids. This does not seem like a big deal, to be honest. I think it makes sense to inquire about the rule that was supposedly broken and exactly what happened - had he been asked to quiet down but didn’t hear it, ignored it or whatever. Otherwise, I think OP should just remind his kid not to talk when he’s not supposed to be talking and not to be embarrassed at the small infraction. The book is a good idea, too.[/quote]
