[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher.  My "go to" punishment (after serious chat, etc.) was to move desk away from other kids, but still in the classroom.  Also, a minute or two standing with the teacher during recess.  Sometimes, more than a minute or two.  That is no longer allowed--a teacher cannot take away ANY recess.
I agree that kids need recess.  However, teachers also need some tools that mean something to a child.

Another thing, if a child throws a temper tantrum and is uncontrollable, the teacher is not allowed to remove him from the class.  Instead, the teacher takes the rest of the class out of the classroom.  I've talked to teachers who have had to do this more than once a day.  This is disruptive and keeps the other kids from learning.[/quote]

Wait - they evacuate the whole class and just leave the rampaging kid alone to do whatever?

That is total insanity.  Has MCPS lost its collective mind? [/quote]

This isn't just MCPS. I've taught in another MD district and out of state. Ditto in those too.[/quote]
