[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Had taken that approach, but it seems like a rather severe immutable punishment for...talking in the hallways. If a child punches someone, which most would agree is a far more serious behavioral matter, are they given 3 months of daily punishment?

DD says they feel some kids are now treating them differently due to this.[/quote]
It's not 3 months. The school year is over in 6 weeks. [b]It's also not that bad of a punishment. [/b]The appropriate punishment for talking is to separate her from the people she's talking with. The teacher did that.[/quote]

Not OP.

Sure it is.    Her DD now has the Scarlet Letter every single time they line up.  
    
And yes, my kid would have volunteered to be the caboose, thinking it or the "lead" were the 2 cool positions.  Shut the classroom door, turn off the lights, make sure everyone is out.  The teacher could have formulated this in a positive manner instead of making your kid feel like a bag kid.     Love how DCUM is all about mental health, then piles on that IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT as a parent for not fixing this and now your kid is treated and feels poorly.

I think that teacher is a jerk, OP.[/quote]

And people wonder why there is a teacher shortage. [/quote]

It's the pay.

NP. I don't think so. I would have loved to have gone into teaching. I felt like the nonstop testing and disciplinary issues were more than I could handle.

Haven't you looked on the job boards? So many women are looking for part time work that runs 8-3:30 or 8-4 with summers off. We'd take paycuts for those hours (although my kids' teacher makes similar to me...). Those hours and summers off are like unicorn schedules. We basically have a drag out fight at my work when Christmas Eve is on a weekday. We ALL want it off and can't have it off. To get that whole week off would be lovely. [/quote]
