[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question:  do frustrated teachers wish that schools had more punishment options for students?

It honestly feels like the carrot isn't appealing enough, and the stick isn't punitive enough under the current system[/quote]

More punishment options? I would love just ONE option.

There are none. When a kid has a meltdown in my classroom, I am told to ignore it. I am also told to tell all of the other kids to ignore it. We are supposed to ignore and carry on.

It's impossible to do so. Kids can't ignore it and I certainly can't ignore it AND also teach AND also not really ignore it and watch the kid to make sure they don't hurt themselves or another kid.

We had to abandon the classroom 4 times this year over one extremely disruptive kid. My classroom has been destroyed by this kid twice.

Other than meetings with the parents and increasing the kid's para time, there are no repercussions. However, I don't know about most schools, but at mine, we are short on paras and they are splitting their time between students. Very few students or classrooms get a fulltime para.

Honestly, if you're a parent whose kid's class has a disruptive child, PLEASE complain!!! Complain nonstop to the admins at the school. The teacher can do nothing but with enough complaints, the admins can do something! Your kids are getting subpar education because of these disruptive kids. How is the rights of one kid greater than the rights of the other 19?   [/quote]
