[quote=Anonymous]Kids should be ashamed of behaving badly in school because behaving badly in school is shameful behavior that harms their education and the education of everyone else they're distracting. If they are ashamed of being told to go stand in the corner, they should stop doing the things that get students sent to the corner.

I'm not going to bother commenting on the arm raising since op came back and said the teacher has stopped doing that (although personally I'm fine with physically challenging & mildly uncomfortable things as part of punishment).

But I think it is very strange that on this thread parents seem to be acting like talking in class when the teacher is teaching, being out of an assigned seat during class, and generally disrupting the classroom are basically no big deal. If we want classrooms where our kids can learn effectively, we need ways to hold kids accountable to some behavior standards. People on this thread are saying no to: clip charts, class dojo, standing in the corner at all, losing recess, or anything that "shames" a kid. What is left that's acceptable, and does it work at least as well as the list of things that used to be tried but are now not done?[/quote]
