[quote=Anonymous]My initial thought was bad idea, but I guess there's a context in which it could work -- especially if it's a regular part of the teacher's class management system, so that other kids have also apologized to the class for other things.  Sort of an everyone makes mistakes, everyone needs to learn to seek forgiveness and to forgive kind of mentality.

But the bigger issue to me is that you say that your child has had several outbursts in connection with the same activity.  This is like a fool me once situation  --- why on earth hasn't the teacher figured out a different way to approach this particular exercise with the child?  Maybe modify it for them, or just excuse it altogether?  Or ask a para to help the child with that?  Or team her up with another child?  Or walk the child through it in a calm time so that the child can "practice" before the stressful main event?  I would be trying to problem solve the trigger much more than trying to impose a consequence after the fact.[/quote]
