[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It happens, but I think that what you're talking about is a little extreme. I would complain, even though I hate being *that* parent. Sometimes kids in elementary school start at 9 and then have lunch at 10:30, and so taking away snack time as a punishment seems borderline cruel. Hands-on science activities aren't supposed to be a privilege, they are supposed to be learning opportunities. Same goes for reading buddies. [/quote] This. I think it can be effective because it creates peer pressure for the misbehaving kids to act better, rather than a class clown being applauded. But the "collective punishments" are usually much more minor rewards that are being taken away, not snack time etc as OP is mentioning. It's being used in too extreme a way.[/quote]
