[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like punishments like this, especially for younger elementary kids. It's meant to break them. I understand why a kid who always talks when they are told not to is a problem for a teacher, but in an ideal world, we wouldn't be looking for ways to silence exuberant and social children.

But then I hate traditional school models and I love talkative, silly kids.

Agree with the PP who said elementary school sucks. I had forgotten how much it sucks, until I had a kid in one. It's the pits! Wish I could afford to send my kid to a school where they had class outside all the time and running and talking were encouraged.[/quote]

Well, most people understand that talkative, silly kids can be very disruptive for kids trying to learn. Which is the purpose of school. Some of you are the worst. No wonder the kids are so ill-behaved. [/quote]

Agreed.  I have an exuberant and quirky girl.  I love her to death.  But guess what, she has to learn how to function in society.  And in the wrong context exuberance is rude.  She has to learn when it's okay to let it hang out and when it is not. No one has an inherent right to be rude based on their flamboyant personality.  Give me a break.[/quote]
